Yeah this is probably objectively good for hindering the US’ propaganda efforts. It’s absurd that anyone would call these outlets radical or leftist haha. Voice of America though was actually started in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda, allegedly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they intended it to also help steer people away from the Soviet messaging at the time. It’s funding was increased throughout the Cold War.
Yet another case that feels weird but can be explained easily when you go back to this phrase: The 20th century makes a lot more sense when you realize the Western Allies came to regret the side of the war they fought on. VoA has only ever been used to spread anticommunist right wing propaganda since the 50s, it was an important part of Gladio.
