Kiselyov Boots VOA and Radio Liberty from the Rodina… Good Riddance to BAD Rubbish!

00 Radio Radonezh

This is the logo of Radio Radonezh, a Church-run media outlet that DOES have things of interest to offer its listeners… Radio Radonezh and Radio Liberty… one of these things is NOT like the other!

On Wednesday, Dmitri Kiselyov, the head of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, said that the Voice of America (VOA) was a radio spammer with nothing of interest to offer its audiences. Kiselyov explained that the authorities terminated VOA’s rebroadcasting rights in Russia due to its contract for operation in the Russian Federation expiring. He said, in a 21 March letter to the US Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which coördinates broadcasting of the two outlets, “It doesn’t have anything to do with the freedom of speech because Voice of America and Radio Liberty have nothing original to say. They sound like they broadcast from another world, at least from a world that doesn’t exist anymore. I regard these radio stations as mere spam on our frequencies. They’re boring and lacking in self-criticism. We aren’t going to coöperate anymore. I don’t feel compelled to help these radio spammers air their shows in Russia”. Kiselyov sent the letter in response to BBG’s inquiry about prolonging the contract for broadcasting VOA. BBG chairman Jeff Shell decried Kiselyov’s letter as an attack on the freedom of speech. VOA is the official external broadcast institution of the US federal government. In 1947, VOA started broadcasting to Soviet citizens in Russian under the pretext of countering the Soviet point of view on American policies {BBG/VOA/RL is widely known as a Langley front organisation: editor}.

Editor:

Now, that the motherland has done this, it’s time for the Church to put Potapov to the question, “Do want to work for Radio Liberty, or, do you want to work for us?” Either he should retract publicly all his earlier public statements about the Rodina and its history, or, he should leave the Church’s service as a pastor in the District. It’s quite that simple. Look, if he wants to support greedster Republican warmongers, hey, let him… but not as a representative of the Church. This is shameful… we shouldn’t have an official of the Church hobnobbing with such Individualist Ayn Rand filth as the Washington Times or the American Enterprise Institute. They knife the motherland in the back… ergo, our clergy should stay away from them and from all those who work for or with them. Let him choose… and give him the boot if he refuses to leave his Russophobic Free Market pals. It’s only fair…
