Kari Lake: the election denier picked to lead Voice of America

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Trump has yet to announce who he intends to nominate as the next Global Media head, who, along with the bipartisan International Broadcasting Advisory Board, has the power to approve VOA's new director.
50% : "We're hoping that the guardrails will hold," said one VOA employee to CNN after the news that Trump selected Lake to lead the organization.
50% : Still, by naming Lake, Trump has signaled that his administration again "intends to assert its influence over the Voice of America," Roll Call said.
47% : During his first week in office in 2017, the relationship between Trump and VOA raised alarms among media critics after the network posted (and eventually deleted) tweets that "seemed to validate -- or, at least, did not question -- false statements White House press secretary Sean Spicer made about crowd size and media coverage," The Washington Post said.Trump also "clashed" with the network over its China and coronavirus reporting during his last year in office, said Politico, after which several VOA officials "resigned from their posts," Axios said.
7% : Lake, a hardline immigration hawk who spent years denying both her own electoral loss as well as Trump's 2020 defeat, 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," Trump said on Truth Social.
