Trump Muzzling Free Press!
Radio Liberty and Voice of America around the world are being shut down by Trump.
RFE/RL President and CEO Stephen Capus said:
“The cancellation of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s grant agreement would be a massive gift to America’s enemies. The Iranian Ayatollahs, Chinese communist leaders, and autocrats in Moscow and Minsk would celebrate the demise of RFE/RL after 75 years. Handing our adversaries a win would make them stronger & America weaker

@Free_Press I remember listening to both "Rádio Svobodná Evropa" and "Hlas Ameriky" in Czechoslovakia in the 1980s. I was a kid then but there was a thrill to it, as tuning them in was illegal under the regime.
Those radio stations certainly contributed to the revolutions in Eastern Europe then, but also later carried neoliberal propaganda. I don't understand why on Earth even Orange Pig T. would cancel them
