    Voice of America is the official propaganda broadcaster of the United States Government. It was founded during WWII and its role was increased as a weapon to promote capitalism in 2nd and 3rd world countries during the cold war. While its feed is mostly Reuters and other centrist corporate news outlets, the focus of its original journalism is now is on Africa, where the CIA is concerned that US concerns on the continent are being overshadowed by Russian and Chinese influence.

    MBFC rates this propaganda outlet as ‘least biased.’ You can help keep Lemmy from becoming another propaganda outlet for the United States and capitalism by calling out this bot and learning about the true biases of news organizations.
