“At less than one 6,750th of last year’s $6.75 trillion federal spending, USAGM may seem like small potatoes, but as the late US Senator Everett Dirksen (R-IL) reportedly said, ‘a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you’re talking about real money.’ And good reasons for wadding up the agency and tossing it in the dustbin of history go far beyond the financial. What are the agency and its outlets, really? In a word, propaganda. Their entire purpose is and always has been to regale the world — especially that portion of its population ruled by non-US-approved governments — with the US government’s take on every event and every issue.” (03/18/25)
