He literally has control over it though.

Be that as it may, Trump is trying to dismantle it.
No, for the behavior of staff that he never directly condoned and in-fact provided training and policies against. He didn't monitor or enforce (well enough anyways) and maintained a culture of competition that indirectly incentivized ripping off customers.
Again, I see that it's entirely clear that AOC's over-all case is very different. I said that right at the start. Her's is a case of imperfect compliance with rules that she and her staff clearly tried to follow, and she immediately worked to correct the issue.
All I'm saying is that she isn't innocent by virtue of "my staff did it, not me". Just imagine how the shittiest Republicans you can think of would abuse that loophole.
My former CEO got fired after being chewed out by Congress for exactly this, so apparently, yes.
Oh, my innocent child...
Both sides harbor sexual predators? Yeah, unfortunately that is obviously the case. I mean fuck, we know with 100% certainty that Billy boy stuck his dick in an intern, and he had a long history of sexual misconduct accusations. When the truth came out, his popularity went up. Instead of being marched out to irrelevance, he has remained an influential member of Democratic leadership.
You might not remember this, but when the Trump "grab 'em" tape came out it was right before a debate. Trump brought a whole gaggle of Bill's accusers to sit in the audience to call out the hypocrisy. A scandal they should have ended Trump made him stronger. I guess Billy boy fucked us all.
maybe they knowingly accepted or solicited discounts for their boss, but that isn't AOC's fault
I think the AOC complaint was overall ridiculous, but this particular excuse shouldn't fly. She ought to be responsible for properly training , instructing, and managing her staff.
Bill Clinton almost certainly belongs on the list. Furthermore, I think he is the primary reason the Democrats didn't/couldn't use Epstein to destroy Trump years ago.
What's Jesus have to do with Christianity? Christianity has always been Paul's religion, not Jesus'.
The word "propaganda" is tricky. It has connotations of being lies, but that isn't always or even usually the case. Objectively true information can literally be propaganda. The mission of the VoA is to spread American propaganda. That's why it's funded. That can be truths that foreign governments want to suppress, it can be spin, or it can be lies. VoA is generally pretty truthful, especially compared to the privately run domestic versions like cable news outlets.
Government officials don't need to dictate content. As you pointed out, content can be controlled by who is appointed to manage the content. They know the mission.
