The latest in the war to save Voice of America from extinction. This comes after a judge ordered the restoration of VoA and the reinstatement of displaced employees. This is easier said than done. Entire language services have been decimated. There are no wire services, no email, no badges, no nothing. To assume that the wrecking machine is going to do any of this in good faith would be naive.

"A federal judge just delivered a huge win for the rule of law, for the American people and - not hyperbole - for global security, and a huge loss for Donald Trump, and one of his flunkies, Kari Lake.

DC Federal District Judge Royce Lamberth just ordered 1000 federal employees to be allowed to return to work at Voice of America, ruling that Kari Lake had been unlawfully trying to dismantle the agency."

L'Huffington Post - News, inchieste e approfondimenti HuffPost: Voice of America riparte e reintegra mille dipendenti. Un giudice cancella la mannaia di Trump

Il servizio radiotelevisivo internazionale, con una storia gloriosa, non era essenziale, era anzi sacrificabile per il presidente, che l'aveva affidata a una sorta di curatrice fallimentare. La cui nomina, secondo una sentenza, era illegittima. Ripartire e ricostruire non sarà semplice

Voice of America restarts and reintegrates 1,000 employees. A judge overturns Trump’s cuts.

The international broadcasting service, with a glorious history, was not essential, it was in fact expendable for the president, who had entrusted it to a sort of failed curator. Whose appointment, according to a ruling, was illegitimate. Restarting and rebuilding will not be easy.
