Silencing The Voice Of America w/ VOA White House Bureau Chief Patsy Widakuswara

During the second Trump administration, news organizations have been under threat and under attack. ABC and CBS have faced settlements. NBC and CNN have been threatened with having their licenses to broadcast pulled. PBS and NPR are being defunded. But no place has the attack on journalism been felt more than at Voice of America, the US foreign press organization that broadcasts to dozens of countries and has a mission to accurately tell the world about what's happening in America. The Trump administration is now dismantling the vital news organization that's been in place for decades. Grant talks to VOA White House Bureau Chief Patsy Widakuswara, who is also the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit to stop the Administration from permanently shutting VOA down, and what's at risk for VOA, journalism, and the world if they don't succeed. Support the showFollow along on social media SaySo: @GrantHermes X: @GrantHermesInsta: @Grant__HermesTiktok: Grant_Hermes
