The Broadcast Board of Governors and Voice of America (VOA) are accused of violating the Smith-Mundt Act by targeting propaganda at American citizens via Facebook advertisements. Although the act was partially repealed in 2013, the government is still prohibited from intentionally propagandizing domestic audiences. The matter has reportedly been referred to the Attorney General.

Facebook's algorithms block RT (Russia Today) from posting content after a copyright claim by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty during a live stream of Obama's final press conference. RT claims they had legitimate rights via the Associated Press. The hosts describe this as a "propaganda war" between state-funded media organizations.

The State Department and USAID have requested $100 million to counter Russian propaganda, specifically targeting the influence of RT (Russia Today). Victoria Nuland described programs to train "independent" journalists and bolster "clean, honest" Russian-language programming. The hosts point out the irony of the U.S. government funding its own "Ministry of Truth" while accusing other nations of media manipulation.

The Broadcast Board of Governors (BBG) issued a request for quotation for software capable of decoding digital high-frequency transmissions for non-technical users. The project seeks to utilize amateur radio modes like MFSK32 and Olivia to transmit digital content via Voice of America. This move signals an effort by the U.S. government's propaganda arm to leverage ham radio technology for broader information dissemination.
