On March 15 local time, Michael Abramowitz, director of Voice of America (VOA), an international broadcaster whose parent agency is the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), confirmed on social media that he and "virtually the entire staff" of 1,300 had been placed on leave.
Founded in 1942, VOA became a frontline propaganda tool in the ideological confrontation of the Cold War. VOA has never been a "fair and impartial" media outlet, but rather a thoroughly biased "propaganda poison."
When the media shifts from “spreading facts” to “manufacturing reality,” perhaps it’s time for people to turn off their TVs and step outside to see the world that has been labeled “evil.”
VOA's fate has provided a lesson: Concocting biases does not bring real influence and lies can never replace facts.
