The cold war ended more than 30 years ago. The propaganda channels of Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Radio Free Asia are relics of that era. On top of it, the pro-US propaganda network of Al-Hurra is the one for the mideast and northern Africa since it was established in 2003. Those networks have been costing the US taxpayer almost a billion dollars a year. Trump is trying to rid this country of the colossal wastes of money like this one.
Instead, the press would have us weeping over the loss of jobs for middle eastern journalists.
Alhurra was part of Washington’s effort to shape public opinion in the Arab world through balanced, independent journalism.
The old saying is “accept the king’s coin and you become the king’s man.” The issue here is that the king isn’t the President. It isn’t Congress. No, the king is the faceless bureaucrats who actually run the government.
The web of money runs wide and deep.

If we want to discuss a completely worthless Cold War relic how about NATO ?

That too. It all needs to go. We need to cut Federal spending by at least 10% per year for the next 5 years.

Why is the US still funding these outdated propaganda networks? Shouldn’t that money go to better use?

What specific changes is Trump proposing to make to these propaganda networks to save taxpayer money?

The simplest course: he just isn’t funding it

WE all know what needs to be done but it wont happen. Too much in payoffs between the two ruling parties. They don’t give a fuck and never will. They wont care until large numbers of them are found hanging from light posts on the mall. And the people on the right have shown no balls for that. What the MAGA folks never have understood, Trump isn’t a republican. He is a Labor Democrat.
Neither the Messiah or any politician will fix this, if they even try the judges will stop that shit quick. As in the SCROTUS decision on Illegals deportation on saturday. A known MS13 member who has done everything under the sun and now he is the commies and medias darling. Probably will be the demo commies presidential candidate in 28 with Newsome. Funny how none of these fuckers went to see Laken Riley’s parents.
The only possible fix is the total collapse that’s coming anyway why not just let it happen sooner. Fucking with the markets is one thing, but these clowns are fucking up the bonds also. Markets are for business and investors to make or lose money, fucking up the bonds brings governments and monetary systems crashing down. With all the chaos that’s happening financially. To me it appears the Messiah and his oligarch minions might have that as a goal but trying to limit it some how? I’m so positive he could do that just with his greatness. There are no 2nd and 3rd level effect thinkers allowed in DC and he is no different.
In our childhood we idolized Batman. But now in our adulthood we realized that The Joker makes more sense…
