Then to add insult to injury, VOICE OF AMERICA is losing its strong and long-lasting independent voice. @VOA is a #USA multimedia agency that serves as the government institution for non-military, external broadcasting. It is the largest international broadcaster that produces digital, TV, and radio content in 47 languages which it distributes to affiliate stations around the globe. It is primarily viewed by foreign audiences, so VOA programming has a definitive and effective global influence. https://www.voanews.com/
