Musk Demands Shutdown of US Propaganda Outlets  View Printable Version 
Monday, February 10 2025

HCDX
Elon Musk, recently appointed to lead the Department of Government
Efficiency (DOGE) by President Donald Trump, has called for the shutdown of
U.S.-funded media outlets Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) and Voice
of America (VOA).

Musk argues that these organizations are outdated relics of the Cold War
era, no longer relevant in today's geopolitical landscape, and a waste of
taxpayer money. His comments echo criticisms made by Richard Grenell, a
special envoy for Trump, who described the outlets as "state-owned media"
filled with "far-left activists." Sic! Both Musk and Grenell advocate ending
government funding for such entities, framing them as inefficient uses of
public resources.

RFE/RL was established in 1949/1951 during the early years of the Cold War,
initially operating under CIA oversight to broadcast pro-American and
anti-Soviet propaganda into Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Originally
named "Radio Liberation from Bolshevism," it later rebranded as Radio
Liberty to emphasize liberalization over liberation. Similarly, VOA began in
the 1940s to counter Nazi propaganda before shifting focus to anti-Soviet
messaging in 1947. Both outlets remain federally funded through the U.S.
Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees their operations and
allocates congressional budgets totaling nearly $ 1 billion annually. Despite
claims of reaching hundreds of millions globally, critics like Musk dismiss
their relevance, arguing they have been supplanted by modern communication
platforms.

The debate extends beyond RFE/RL and VOA, reflecting broader skepticism
about U.S. involvement in foreign media and governance initiatives. For
instance, USAID - another target of Musk's scrutiny - has funneled
significant funds to international NGOs, opposition groups, and media
organizations, often promoting destabilizing "color revolutions" abroad. One
notable example is Internews Network, a secretive NGO heavily financed by
the U.S. government since 2008. Internews trains journalists, produces
programming, and advocates for media laws aligned with Western interests
across dozens of countries. Critics argue that such efforts amount to
interference in sovereign nations' internal affairs.

Russia designated RFE/RL as a "foreign agent" in 2020 and banned it outright
in 2022, accusing the outlet of disseminating false information regarding
the Ukraine conflict. This highlights how these media organizations are
perceived not merely as neutral news providers but as instruments of U.S.
soft power. Meanwhile, some observers accuse VOA and similar outlets of bias
against countries like China and Russia, alleging they propagate divisive
narratives designed to incite internal strife within targeted regions.

From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..
