Voice of America Reporter Behind Racist, Alt-Right Reddit Account Put on Administrative Leave

Joshua Fatzick, an alt-right Voice of America reporter, has officially been placed on administrative leave after his racist, sexist, and bigoted Reddit posts were exposed by this reporter.

In an emailed statement, director of Voice of America Amanda Bennett said the taxpayer-funded news agency has “zero tolerance” for this kind of behavior, both in personal and public life. “Voice of America has zero tolerance for public or personal racist, sexist, or politically biased social media communications. Our policies make it very clear that such behavior is prohibited. We are investigating these reports as quickly as possible and will respond accordingly,” said Bennett.

“In the meantime, the individual in question has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation,” she added.

The comments at Mediaite are awful. Looks like it’s only White Supremacists who comment there. Will not be reading anymore of their articles.

No, now that he has been exposed, VOA will have to fire him. You don’t get to make racist comments on public forums and keep your federal job.

There’s a guy at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who disproves your assertion; more importantly, dismissal is ultimately his decision.
