Federal judge blocks Trump administration from dismantling Voice of America

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

38% : Trump and his Republican allies have accused Voice of America of having a "leftist bias" and failing to project "pro-American" values to its audience. Plaintiffs' attorneys say it reports and broadcasts the news "truthfully, impartially, and objectively." "That simple mission is a powerful one for those living across the globe without access to a free press and without the ability to otherwise discern what is truly happening," they wrote.
35% : Lamberth said the funding cuts "reflect a hasty, indiscriminate approach" -- particularly since they were made the same day that President Trump signed the congressional appropriation that funded Voice of America and the networks through September of this year.
23% : Voice of America went dark soon after Trump issued an executive order on March 14 that pared funding to the Agency for Global Media and six other unrelated federal entities.
