TRANSCRIPT:
So the Voice of America is the best way to counter the bad information that is coming out of Russia. We see it most directly and most clearly and most blatantly in their war, the Russian war against Ukraine.
They put out unbelievable stories, unbelievable messages coming out of Moscow, out of the Kremlin. Fantastical stories about why they invaded. As we all know, there’s no reason for them. It was totally unjustified, this invasion. And yet the message coming out of the Kremlin is crazy.
And the best way to counter that craziness is the Voice of America. Voice of America provides trusted truth.
And the best way to counter the falsehoods, the misinformation, the disinformation that’s coming out of the Kremlin, the best way to counter that is by sending truth to the world, sending truth to Europe, sending truth to Ukraine, sending truth to the United States. This is the way we counter the falsehoods coming out of the Kremlin.
So support for the Voice of America is important. It is important to keep that voice strong and clear and convincing. Support it.
