Government funded media organizations, such as Voice of America, were created to broadcast pro-American propaganda to foreign countries.
This is a lifting of the ban of those organizations from broadcasting in the U.S.
This was not saying that the government is free to propagandize wherever they want, because they didn't need to un-ban that.
The really insidious propaganda had already been going on for years, totally unregulated, in the form of CIA agents working in the New York Times, and former US Intelligence officers being hired by networks like CNN to opine on issues (i.e. push the Deep State agenda, promote perpetual wars, etc).
Semi-related, I wonder if the Woke infection in government is so bad that our "pro-American" media is now broadcasting apologies to the world for being systemically racist and sexist.
Thank you setting the record straight. I'm so fucking sick of hearing conservatives claiming that most of the bad shit happening these days is because Obama legalized propoganda. 🙄
This isn't what you think.

Good share. The Hastings piece linked in the article is worth a read, too.
Amongst other things...I feel like it's going to take an entire generation and cult exit counselors to bring people back to Earth.
Thanks Obama.
It was 2016 afaik.
