Kari Lake, who now serves as the senior adviser at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), has stated that Voice of America (VOA) will be partnering with One America News (OAN).

Lake explained that the partnership will allow OAN to provide news feed services to USAGM networks, including the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, Radio MartΓ, and VOA.
βThis is an enormous benefit to the American taxpayer, who is the sole-source of funding for USAGMβs news outlets, which broadcast only to international audiences,β Lake said.
βI do not have editorial control over the content of VOA and OCB programming, but I can ensure our outlets have reliable and credible options as they work to craft their reporting and news programs,β Lake said.Β
Donald Trumpβs decision to nominate Lake, a Trump ally and vocal opponent of the liberal βecho-chamberβ that is the mainstream media, has prompted concerns for leftists and liberals who now say that they fear for the future of VOA and other U.S. taxpayer-funded foreign broadcasters.
Some left-wing commentators have claimed that networks will avoid reporting on topics considered controversial when it comes to Trump.
Nonetheless, conservative commentators have responded to those fears by highlighting how the same mainstream media sources that progressives uplift have historically hidden Democratsβ downfalls, such as former President Bidenβs senility and cognitive decline.
Lake, who previously ran gubernatorial campaigns in the state of Arizona and the United States Senate, has reportedly worked to reduce the amount of VOAβs budget and expenditures as part of Trumpβs larger aim to reduce federal spending.
βEvery day I look for ways to save American taxpayers money,β she said. βBringing in OAN as a video/news source does both.β
