Yet the US president unilaterally shut down Voice of America because he didn't like its message

Freedom of speech for me, not for thee

> US president unilaterally

The whole truth here would be that technically he did not do it unilaterally but as a representative of his voters, so basically almost as far from unilaterally as possible.

That is not what unilaterally means when the US government takes action. It means none of the other decision makers or branches were involved.

Don’t be obtuse

Huh? Voice of America is a basically a government organization blasting out US propaganda.

The president runs VOA, it's not some separate entity he decided to censor.
