(5MinNewsBreak.com) – President-elect Donald Trump’s new appointment shocked liberals as he tapped election denier Kari Lake to be the next director of Voice of America (VOA).
This bold move signals a shift towards embedding traditional American values within the international broadcaster’s framework, promising to amplify the USA’s global influence with a conservative perspective.
Trump announced his decision to appoint Lake via Truth Social, emphasizing her role in promoting American values of freedom and liberty.
“I am pleased to announce that Kari Lake will serve as our next Director of the Voice of America,” Trump declared.
He also added she “will ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”
Lake, a former television news anchor from Phoenix and an immigration hard-liner has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s policies and election fraud claims.
Her appointment to lead VOA, a government-funded media outlet broadcasting in over 40 languages, marks a significant change in direction for the organization.
Trump’s decision to put Lake as the head of VOA demonstrates his commitment to reshaping America’s global media presence.
Furthermore, the decision follows his previous criticisms of VOA, particularly its coverage during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. Trump expressed his disapproval, stating that the “things they say are disgusting toward our country.”
Lake’s background as a media professional and her unwavering support for conservative values make her an ideal candidate to lead VOA in Trump’s vision.
Her experience as a news anchor in Phoenix for over twenty years, combined with her recent political endeavors, uniquely positions her to understand the media landscape and the conservative agenda.
While some VOA employees have expressed concerns about potential ideological influence, conservatives view this appointment as necessary to ensure the fair representation of American values on the global stage.
The existing “firewall” designed to prevent government interference in VOA’s reporting will likely be re-evaluated to align with the new administration’s goals.
In addition, Lake’s appointment is part of a broader strategy to realign U.S. international broadcasting with conservative principles.
