On Tuesday, she posted, “It dawned on me last night after I took the oath of office to usher in major reform at the USAGM that it was four years to the date that I put out my video announcing that I was walking away from a 30-year career in journalism. In the past four years, more people have woken up to the lies of the Fake News. And a new wave of independent journalists have come on the scene to spread the truth. I see bright days ahead.”
After being tapped by President Donald Trump last year after his election to lead the Voice of America (VOA) Kari Lake was sworn in on Monday. She was named a special adviser for VOA’s parent, the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) until she transitions to director of VOA after Trump’s nominee L. Brett Bozell III is confirmed by the Senate to lead USAGM.
Known for her famous takedowns of the mainstream media over its bias, the former news anchorwoman and political candidate will face a significant amount of work dismantling the bias and bloat within the VOA.
Lake posted on X, “I got sworn in today. Looking forward to serving America, streamlining the United States Agency of Global Media and everything it oversees.”
