Voice of America spends your money to speak for authoritarian regimes
美国之音花你的钱为威权政权代言
Voice of America is a global news network funded by American taxpayers. It spends about $200 million each year on its mission to “tell America’s story” and “present the policies of the United States clearly and effectively” to people around the globe.
美国之音是由美国纳税人资助的全球新闻网络。它的使命是每年花费约2亿美元向全球民众“讲述美国的故事”和“清晰有效地介绍美国的政策”。
Today, however, VOA too often speaks for America’s adversaries—not its citizens.
然而，今天，美国之音经常为美国的敌对阵营说话，而不是为美国公民。
The Coronavirus pandemic is no exception. Secrecy from the Communist Party of China allowed the deadly virus to spread across the world.
即便是在冠状病毒（中共病毒(又称新冠状病毒，COVID-19)）大瘟疫中也是这样。中国共产党的隐瞒疫情使这种致命的病毒传播到世界各地。
Journalists should report the facts, but VOA has instead amplified Beijing’s propaganda. This week, VOA called China’s Wuhan lockdown a successful “model” copied by much of the world—and then tweeted out video of the Communist government’s celebratory light show marking the quarantine’s alleged end.
记者应该报导事实，但美国之音却助长了北京的宣传力度。本周，美国之音称中国（中共）的武汉封城是世界许多地方效仿的成功“典范”，然后在推特上发布了中共政府庆祝检疫工作结束的灯光秀视频。
Even worse, while much of the U.S. media takes its lead from China, VOA went one step further: It created graphics with Communist government statistics to compare China’s Coronavirus death toll to America’s. As intelligence experts point out, there is simply no way to verify the accuracy of China’s numbers.
更糟的是，美国之音甚至领先其它美国媒体，用中共政府的统计数据制作了美中死亡人数的对照图表。情报专家已指出，根本无法验证中共公布数据的准确性。
The Coronavirus story is just one example of this pattern. Last year, VOA helped highlight the Twitter feed of Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif while he was issuing threats against the U.S. and sharing Russian anti-U.S. propaganda videos.
冠状病毒（中共病毒）的故事只是这种模式的一个例子。去年，美国之音（VOA）帮助突出报导了伊朗外交部长贾瓦德・扎里夫（Javad Zarif）的推文，当时他正对美国发出威胁，美国之音（VOA）还分享俄罗斯的反美宣传视频。
“VOA will represent America,” its guiding Charter reads. And for years after its founding during World War II, VOA served that mission by promoting freedom and democracy across the world for audiences who longed for both.
美国之音的指导性宪章上写道：“美国之音将代表美国。”在二次大战期间成立之后的年代里，美国之音曾一直在全世界为渴望自由与民主的听众推动实现自由与民主履行使命。
Today, VOA is promoting propaganda instead—and your tax dollars are paying for it.
如今，相反的，美国之音正在推动（中共）宣传，并且正在用美国纳税人的钱。
