The president of the #NationalPressClub in Washington, Mike Balsamo, released a statement on social media objecting to the moves at #VOA.
"For decades, #VoiceOfAmerica has delivered fact-based, independent #journalism to audiences worldwide, often in places where press freedom does not exist," Balsamo said.
The decision, he said, "undermines America's commitment to a free & independent press."
Well done #ABC. Why listen to some enlightening q&a at the #NationalPressClub when we can cross live to #PotatoHead spewing some garbage or other… JFC, #GiveMeBackMyABC
