This decision reflects ongoing Republican criticisms regarding bias in publicly funded media. VOA’s director lamented the administrative leave of its entire staff, emphasizing the historic role VOA has played in supporting a free press.
The executive order reducing federal agencies threatens press freedom worldwide, undermining 80 years of American commitment to a free flow of information.
