As Twitchy reported 10 days ago, the Voice of America had put hundreds of its journalists on administrative leave. The cuts came when President Donald Trump terminated the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which is the parent organization of Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
Voice of America is a remnant of World War II, having been founded in 1942 to counter propaganda from Nazi Germany. Ironically, it was supposed to broadcast pro-American propaganda, but has found itself doing just the opposite in recent years.
Six VOA staff members sued the Trump administration, arguing that shutting down the outlet was unlawful and unconstitutional. It seems that once the government creates something, it can never be dismantled, only enlarged.
A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration must continue funding the Voice of America.
