I got censured by the US public broadcaster @VOANews. All VOA services received orders yesterday to unpublish/not publish my interview to Mauricio Claver-Carone, Special Assistant to President Trump, on how VOA's foreign journalists are being expelled from the country. [Thread]

This is the translation of the interview segment that @VOANews does not want you to see. The interview was originally in Spanish for the Spanish Service of VOA, @VOANoticias.
For context,I explained in this other thread the critical situation in which @VOANews foreign-born journalists are in. The federal agency that oversees VOA @USAGMgov is trying to expel dozens of these journalists from the US. Some,to repressive countries

My interview was shared on @VOANoticias website yesterday morning. In the afternoon, the original text and video were altered. All reference to VOA journalists' situation was deleted. Spot the difference: screenshot of @VOANoticias website in the morning Vs. afternoon.
Here is the link to the censured interview on @VOANoticias website. Questions and responses on VOA situation have been deleted. https://www.voanoticias.com/episode/%C2%BFen-qu%C3%A9-consiste-la-nueva-estrategia-de-la-casa-blanca-para-latinoam%C3%A9rica-237016

. @VOANoticias usually schedules its tweets. The original interview was shared this AM in a scheduled tweet by mistake. I quoted it in a tweet of mine saying "If they delete this tweet, they confirm the are censuring". The tweet was taken down 37min. later. https://twitter.com/briciosegovia/status/1299718340722786305?s=20
Before @VOANoticias deleted the tweet with the uncensured interview, I had time to record my cellphone screen and the part of the interview in which Mauricio Claver-Carone, Special Assistant to President Trump, commented on VOA journalists' situation.
This full (uncensured) interview can no longer be seen on any @VOANews @VOANoticias platforms. It has been deleted after @VOANews management ordered all the organization to unpublished/not publish it. The irony about all this is that @VOANoticias slogan is "A Free Press Matters".
When @VOANews management emailed all the organization ordering to unpublish/not publish my interview, I responded asking for the reason. The only answer I got was the deactivation of my corporate username that gave me access to my email, communication and publishing platforms.
CLARIFICATION: I meant to say I got *censored. Although, since I got kicked out of the system, I guess I also got censured. https://twitter.com/briciosegovia/status/1299754286579146758
