\"1214BREITBART\"<\/p>\n

The Voice of America is one of the world\u2019s largest broadcasters that you have never heard of. <\/p>\n

You probably also have never heard of Radio Free Europe\/ Radio Liberty RFE\/RL) either.<\/p>\n

Yet these two networks combined, reach an audience or more than 150 million people worldwide. That makes them bigger than NBC, ABC, CNN, Fox and pretty much every other broadcaster in the US.<\/p>\n

The reason you have never heard of them is that, until recently, they were forbidden from broadcasting in the US by law. But you pay for them. They are taxpayer supported. <\/p>\n

Their broadcasts (television, radio and Internet) are designed specfically [sic<\/em>] to bring honest and truthful news and information to people who live in societies that don\u2019t allow a free press; whose governments control the news and information they have access to. VOA and RFE\/RL are not about entertainment. They are vitally important to people who live in repressive socieites [sic<\/em>] -and there are more and more of them every day\u2026.<\/p>\n

,,,Earlier this week, in a move that has barely been noticed, the Republican controlled House quietly inserted an amendement [sic<\/em>] to the Defense National Authorization Act that will gut the VOA and RFE\/RL and turn it into a Trump controlled propaganda machine. <\/p>\n

Since its founding the VOA, RFE\/RL AND Radio and TV Marti have been under the control of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026Last week\u2019s legislative action<\/a>, however, replaces the BBG with one Presidentially appointed Director, who has the power to hire, fire and control editorial content.<\/p>\n

In short, Donald Trump and Steve Bannon of Breitbart have effectively just been handed the keys to one of the world\u2019s biggest media companies -and you are paying for it<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026Breitbart on its own is bad enough. Its\u2019 a website. But marry Breitbart to a global broadcasting machine that goes out to more than 100 million people daily and you have a real recipe for a massive disaster. The fact that as taxpayers you will be paying for this only adds insult to injury. This is the world of people like Vladimir Putin, who took control of what had been the free press and liberal media in Russia and crushed them out of existence. Dictators don\u2019t like a free press\u2026. [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
