Voice of America (VOA) Director Michael Abramowitz was placed on administrative leave along with his staff by the Trump administration, which labeled VOA as "radical propaganda." In a recent interview, Abramowitz stated that VOA’s mission is to represent America and combat authoritarianism. With a significant global reach, VOA broadcasts to millions in multiple languages, making it a vital tool against disinformation. However, concerns have arisen over the impact of this administrative leave on national security, especially in terms of countering foreign misinformation.
I really believe that at VOA, the journalists' by-laws, if they have a bias, they hate totalitarianism, they hate tyranny, they hate authoritarianism.
Our principal mission is really to tell the story of America, so you're getting through to an audience that otherwise might only hear propaganda about the US.
