A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from dismantling Voice of America, the government funded broadcaster, at least temporarily. It’s a dramatic turn in a series of legal cases revolving around the limits of executive power and the strength of the Constitution’s protection of free speech.

    It’s literally an anti fascism broadcast created after WW2 so they can disrupt the next potential dictatorship.

    So it makes sense he’d want it gone, but I’m not sure why you do.

      Whatever it may have been in WW2 you really think the US has been a global force against Fascism in the past 30 years? Lol.

        That is fair, but is it due to the VoA group? Perfect is the enemy of good. If VoA is doing some good, why shut it down? Unless the good that it’s doing potentially disrupts the bad things you want to do.
