President-elect Donald Trump announced Kari Lake as the new director of Voice of America, marking a shift towards a leader with strong ties to his administration.
Kari Lake's selection as director indicates Trump's ongoing dissatisfaction with Voice of America and its previous reporting, especially regarding the pandemic and criticism of his administration.
In his statement, Trump emphasized that Lake would ensure American values of freedom and liberty are reported globally, countering what he refers to as 'Fake News'.
Lake's history of controversial social media posts, including misinformation during COVID-19, raises questions about her appointment to lead a broadcaster responsible for independent news.
