i don't like that term because it's an insult to my butthole. it just so happens that i think that buttholes can be neat, but the US is not.

Well nobody would expect that.

Cosmo: Hah. Don't kid yourself. It's not that organized.

Twitter is absolutely going to say "well, we're definitely not an organised hate group. Sometimes people just hate stuff. We're just a social media platform, helping people organise. Oh shit"

The word "propaganda" is tricky. It has connotations of being lies, but that isn't always or even usually the case. Objectively true information can literally be propaganda. The mission of the VoA is to spread American propaganda. That's why it's funded. That can be truths that foreign governments want to suppress, it can be spin, or it can be lies. VoA is generally pretty truthful, especially compared to the privately run domestic versions like cable news outlets.

Government officials don't need to dictate content. As you pointed out, content can be controlled by who is appointed to manage the content. They know the mission.

then we need new master, i guess?

just like my mom. god i miss her from before she went crazy

It did make loads of money though? Why do you get to just push blatant lies?

Like axing a show that didn't make money ?

Even if that were true, which it isn't, what business does the president have even mentioning it much less making a demand?

I was refering to the hole you shit in, not the hole you shit out of.

For the same freedom of speech reasons that we're applying to Colbert. That jerkwad is just as entitled to lie as they are to tell the truth, and it's up to everyone else to call them out on it.
