Ahead of the mutiny, steps were taken to boost security at the Kremlin, but Putin was uncertain how to respond to a warlord critical to many global operations.
VOA earned credibility around the world on the basis of its honest journalism, even when its stories conflicted with US policy. “Some might argue that as a government-funded network, the voa should always be expected to portray US policies as righteous and successful,” wrote former VOA Director Sanford Ungar in Foreign Affairs in 2005. “But experience demonstrates that the VOA is most appreciated and effective when it functions as a model US-style news organization that presents a balanced view of domestic and international events, setting an example for how independent journalism can strengthen democracy.”
As anyone who’s ever lived, worked or served overseas will tell you, the Voice of America (VOA) is an invaluable and highly respected source of news and reliable information in a world too often flooded with misinformation and propaganda.
So certainly you have some sources for your claim that it’s US propaganda, right? It’s based on more than just the name and you continually asserting it?
I honestly could go on; are you claiming that literally all English-language reporting on the VOA (including a fair amount of critical coverage that still talks about its journalistic integrity) is participating in some kind of conspiracy to support its reputation?
Certainly you have evidence of that? Even a single source?
But obviously not. You have no interest in things like “evidence,” and asking you to support your absurd assertions is simply a waste of time.
Is your answer to everyone that questions your preferred media outlets narratives on foreign events that they believe in conspiracies?
You seem to employ a lot of hyperbolic and binary thinking in your arguments. Have you taken a critical thinking or philosophy course in university before?
Since you keep replying and won’t let the argument go, I’ll find something you can access for free. But if you want a longer read that will shatter your worldview about mainstream american media outlets like the NYT and WaPo (since your worldview is so insular it will be easy)
