🧵Voiceless America.

Trump has shut down Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

This is more alarming than one might think.

Putin’s first move as the President in 2000 was crashing an independent TV channel NTV and establishing government control over it.
The channel set high professional standards, broadcasting live coverage and analysis of current events.

By 1999 the audience achieved 102 million.

During parliamentary elections in 1999 and presidential elections in 2000, NTV did not support Putin.
In May 2000, tax police, backed by officers from the general prosecutor’s office and the FSB, stormed the Moscow headquarters of NTV.

In April 2001, Gazprom took over NTV.
