Trump Adminstration attacks VOA for praising China's success in containing Covid19

The oldies here may be quite familiar with this VOA, many youngsters may not. The VOA is the Voice of America, the official propaganda machine of the Americans against Communism and enemies of the American Empire. The VOA was most active during the Cold War, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. VOA is synonymous with CIA and all the American covert operations against the Soviet bloc and China. It is an American mouthpiece.

It is a big shock for the Trump Administration to lash at this mouthpiece. Did Trump take the wrong drug and think VOA is a Chinese network? This is really unimaginable! No American media can say anything good about China even if it is a fact, a known fact to the whole world. This is how the American propaganda machinery works. They only tell lies, untruth and disinformation to the world.  Maybe the VOA is now infiltrated with Chinese agents. What a joke. This reveals how sensitive and desperate the Trump Administration is in this losing war against the Covid19.

Here is what SCMP reported of this piece of bizarre news.

The White House has lashed out at broadcaster Voice of America (VOA), accusing the broadcaster of amplifying “Beijing’s propaganda” by quoting China’s official coronavirus statistics in its reporting and publishing footage of celebrations marking the end of Wuhan’s lockdown.

The extraordinary attack on a government-funded news outlet came as the Trump administration and some lawmakers have intensified their criticism on how the Chinese government handled the outbreak.

“VOA too often speaks for America’s adversaries – not its citizens,” said the White House in a Thursday missive, adding that the outlet, which is funded through congressional appropriations, was “promoting propaganda” with taxpayers’ money.

“This week, VOA called China’s Wuhan lockdown a successful ‘model’ copied by much of the world – and then tweeted out video of the Communist government’s celebratory light show marking the quarantine’s alleged end,” the release said.

The story that the White House appeared to be referencing was an Associated Press article that the VOA had syndicated on Tuesday, not a staff-written story.

“Even worse, while much of the US media takes its lead from China, VOA went one step further,” the White House’s Thursday missive continued. “It created graphics with Communist government statistics to compare China’s Coronavirus death toll to America’s.”
