Trump dismantles Voice of America with executive order - BBC News
www.bbc.com
More than 1,300 staff placed on administrative leave as White House accuses VOA of being anti-Trump, "radical" and "leftist".

Is there any effort to crowd fund Voice of America? It would cost US citizens less than $1 a year each. What is the price on freedom of speech? Is it less than that?

    Apologies, but the ‘old news’ argument sometimes seems to me to be a way of shutting down debate, not moving it forward. I agree Trump has done it - but the question is what is America going to do about it?

    Who benefits most from shutting down Voice of America? In my view, it’s not the US tax payer, it’s Vladimir Putin.

      I was saying the news is past tense already. But yes, there’s already multiple discussions about it here as well, if that’s how you want to take it.
