Voice of America remains the Voice of Trump

 

Michael Pack is all ears.

The latest propaganda from VOA can be found here.  And here.


1/1/2021 update, "GET ME REWRITE:  Voice of America chairman hopes to continue operations as Voice of Trump", starts here.


Business as usual for the GOP.  Michae Pack, the CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, also serves as chairman of the boards of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia. Pack and the members of the boards have now added binding contractual agreements intended to ensure that they cannot be removed for the next two years. They could be removed only "for cause" subsequently. 
Pack stocked those boards with conservative activists and Trump administration officials, despite a tradition of bipartisanship. In other words, although President-elect Joe Biden has already signaled he intends to replace Pack as CEO of the parent agency soon after taking office in January, Pack would maintain a significant degree of control over the networks. Pack and USAGM declined requests for comment.
