The Spin

TheVOA 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 justifications for her reckless cuts to VOA are ludicrous. She has no credibility on the issue of fake news because of her history of spreading misinformation. And it's well known that America's adversaries hate the impact VOA has had in their countries, so there's no threat to national security.
