For anyone not familiar with these terms, VoA and Radio Marti are US government (very closely tied to CIA) propaganda outlets, the latter being directed at Cuba. The USIA used to be the official arm of the US government that handles propaganda, until it was transferred over to the BBG/USAGM Broadcasting Board of Governors/US Agency for Global Media.

I was unaware of this connection before, so I thought I'd share it with you all.

EDIT: Would anyone else be interested in a research comm for stuff like this?

    Very interesting but not surprising. Everyone in a position of power (media, corporate, nonprofit, whatever) seems to be a second or third generation ghoul with generational wealth. A single comm for collecting and distributing this information would be great though. Useful for pilling any lib that believes in self-made man narratives.

      We need a c/trueanon. It's culturally the closest subreddit to r/chapotraphouse to the point that I crosspost between here and there.

        I was initially thinking of something like /c/research but /c/trueanon makes way more sense.
