Listen "The consequences of the Voice of America shutdown"
Episode Synopsis
The silencing of the Voice of America is "a geopolitical blunder for the USA," according to Clayton Weimers, executive director of Reporters Without Borders USA. The group, VOA reporters and a handful of unions has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Agency for Global Media and Kari Lake, who is President Trump's representative there. Weimers and Geoffrey Cowan, a University of Southern California professor, and a former director of the Voice of America, talk with Host Llewellyn King about the work of VOA and the consequences of the shutdown.
