VOA 39 Forever

Submitted by ub on

Although records show VOA to be moving on as a 79-year-old broadcaster @VOANews has a rich history of public service to the world.  In my opinion, it will be 39 forever.

I should point out that I am neither a registered Democrat nor a Republican. When I registered to vote, I insisted on having no political affiliation.

As a GM-15/10 for the Spanish-language foreign policy broadcast Division Director Radio Televisión Martí, I was recruited by #GOP #POTUS42 George Herbert Walker Bush.  

Unfortunately, I should not make comments about my clandestine foreign policy media services, so suffice to say that during my tenure, some of my most notable achievements were to create the first USA government-produced music video and to launch daytime broadcasts of TV Marti directed to a Cuban audience inside Castro’s Communist island.

When a new administration came to DC after Bill Clinton was elected, political appointees were out of our jobs and so it goes.
