    a fireable offense for a member of the press

    VOA journalists are anything but. They are not free press.

      I’m not sure what you mean by this. They’re state-sponsored, but they are at least supposed to be free, on account of the firewall and the VOA charter.

        No no no - only paywalled, ad-supported, doomsday prep and gold bullion-slinging, enshittified news outlets are “free press”. Honestly, if you’re not creating value for shareholders, can you even consider yourself a journalist?

          Surely not!
