Accepted Answer

VOA was established during World War II specifically to counter authoritarian propaganda with credible American journalism.

Lake administrative shutdown—placing entire workforce on leave while eliminating services—marks the first time since Nazi Germany that VOA operations were systematically halted, representing unprecedented destruction of Americas international voice.
