    Trump, in a post on his Truth Social site, said Lake will “ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”

    Like every good dictator, Tru o needs the news to praise his doings evryr day, and fox news isn’t enough

      Get ready? VOA has been around for decades. I’m pretty sure it predates RT.

      (edit: Yep, VOA is about 60 years older than RT.)

        Yes, sorry, I thought that was understood.

        My claim is that it was relatively benign propaganda, and is about to become dystopian and insidious, like RT, under a Trump cultist. Maybe I should have used North Korean state media as a clearer example.
