Thanks for asking. Yes. NPR covered Trump’s efforts to change the subject from Epstein. Separately, NPR also covered what’s of interest from the MLK files. Not going to ignore items of interest. It’s a multi-hour program.

NPR is not a propaganda network. It wasn’t before the vote, and it isn’t now.
@steveinskeep.bsky.social Are you kidding? You say that Trump is providing a distraction by talking about football names, Obama and releasing the MLK files and then talk about what’s in the MLK files?

Steve Herman says that knowing you are right is key, and stubbornness helps:) Kate Woodsome makes a great point about how the only thing we can control is - our story, to tell it like it is.
“I don't want to see it [VOA] die this way and I will do whatever is in my power to try to make sure it doesn't die, no matter what may be the personal or professional risks to myself. And I know that there are a number of my colleagues that feel the same way,” said @newsguy.bsky.social . Watch 👇

We are not the voice of left America. We are not the voice of right America. We are the Voice of America, and our independent journalism should not be outsourced to any outlet aligned to any president's agenda. #savevoa

On World Press Freedom Day, remember the 10  journalists from USAGM networks, including Voice of America, who are in jail in Vietnam, Russia, Belarus, and Myanmar because of their journalism.

Good news today in the fight for freedom of the press!
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to "restore VOA programming such that USAGM fulfills its statutory mandate that VOA serve as a consistently reliable and authoritative source of news."
