The Trump administration has announced that Voice of America (VOA), a government-funded international broadcaster, will begin airing content from the far-right One America News Network (OAN). This move, announced by Kari Lake, has drawn strong criticism from VOA staff and former officials, who argue that OAN's partisan, pro-Trump coverage undermines VOA's longstanding reputation for independent journalism.
