Encore: original airdate 3-17-2025. On today's 'BradCast': A dark day for the cause of press freedom around the globe -- for the first time since 1942, Voice Of America is silent. The Trump Administration shut down the non-partisan, government-funded, independent Voice Of America and its sister networks, which broadcast to hundreds of millions of people around the world in more than 60 different languages. Veteran correspondent STEVE HERMAN discusses how VOA provided a consistently reliable and authoritative source of 'accurate, objective, and comprehensive' news around the world, serving as a beacon of light, hope, democracy and American values to people living under authoritarian regimes, how its demise will be celebrated by US adversaries and dictators, how or if the agency can be rebuilt, and much more.
