Thank you .. my dad was deep into WW2 .. battle of the bulge .. et all .. he used to talk about the radio programs they heard, how it boosted the morale of the local citizens when they could hear it .. I know it will come back as it is “just the right thing to be doing” despite what the felons point of view is .. we will outlast the bastard!
Democrats need now to set up their own news agency between them & all their wealth now,put their money where their mouths are,& just get the truth out,opposing all the lies that FOX & others are doing for years.!!!
This is certainly just more MAGA BS! I wouldn't have gotten news at all during Desert Storm, if not for a short-wave radio and VOA. There was nothing "liberal" about it --- just vast amounts of true reporting. My late Dad gave me the radio and told me to tune to VOA. MAGAts don't like the truth because it gets in their malevolent way!
Yes! My mom and my uncle, both stationed in Germany at different times.. VOA was standard for news. Never thought of as anything except just the news. And that's all it is.. just the news. The truth.
China has already praised this action. Trump continues to do traitorous actions and no one does anything about it. Can another country step in allow them to continue to operate with their signal?
It is difficult to see the underlying strategy of the administration given the daily chaos that we are experiencing. Thank you for reminding us that Project 2025 is being ruthlessly executed.
The journalists should not just stop now,instead they need to pass their reporting on to other great & trusted news agencies & podcasters in particular,which is where it’s heading now anyway.!!They cannot just stop this train now,it’s way too big & too strong.!!!
Thank you so much. I was listening to every warning from you all along… and I understand being treated like an alarmist. But here we are. A time when you'd give anything to have been wrong. I'm sick in my stomach and in my heart every day. I've been able to bounce back before, but the last few days… something has changed. I'm deeply struggling. And I feel abandoned by my party, save a handful. Where are they?! They need to fight as hard as we citizens have been. We are exhausting ourselves… seriously, where are they?
I wonder what all the ring kissers in corporate media have to say now. They intend to destroy the free press. That's why platforms like Substack will be crucial in preserving the practice of journalism.
I feel like cable news was warned a thousand times that they were contributing to their own demise just to try to get trump continuous circus headlines… and Biden “gotcha” moments that didn't even exist. They were like tabloid. And they'll go away next. Unless they bow to becoming state run.
The United States, through its actions domestically and internationally, is no longer an exemplar for democracy. Perhaps our former European allies will fill the void.
Thank you, Olivia, you are a beacon in the descending darkness.
Thank you Olivia for always speaking the truth. I knew his 2nd term would be bad, but this is horrific. Please be safe and take care of yourself!

Brilliant idea. … and now how to get them to do it?!
Call on Bill Gates to get us a new VOA. He can call it anything he wants.
Soft power = soft targets. Trump is about to meet the wall of people like us Olivia. We will kick his ass.

Make it independent and continue to bring the Voice of America independently
