The Voice of America has become a corrupt, anti-American propaganda machine that wastes taxpayer dollars while promoting liberal bias and foreign influence. Lake was making a point to Stanton about how it can become a factory of fake news without accountability. Lake was right to defend her crucial reforms of USAGM.

Lake's reckless dismantling of Voice of America abandons a crucial soft power tool that counters authoritarian propaganda worldwide. Her unsubstantiated attacks and personal insults during congressional testimony demonstrate she lacks the credibility to lead any news organization. These cuts silence America's voice precisely when adversaries like China and Russia are celebrating our retreat from the global information war.
