Voice of America began broadcasting as a way to combat Nazi propaganda during WW2, and has been a powerful means of fighting lies from authoritarian regimes in the decades since. But it is about to start broadcasting such propaganda itself — in support of authoritarian wannabe Donald Trump. It will come from the right-wing, Trump-loving "One America News" (OAN), which will now be providing content for VoA (according to an announcement from Kari Lake). We cannot allow this to happen. VoA cannot become a megaphone for drowning the world in conspiracy theories, right-wing extremism, and toxic Trumpian stupidity. Add your name, and demand that Voice of America reverse this, and not air OAN content. |
