President Trump has named a fierce conservative critic of the mainstream media, L. Brent Bozell III, as his pick to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the parent agency of the Voice of America and other federally owned international broadcasters.

In a posting on Truth Social, Trump said that Bozell would bring much needed change to the agency, which was led by a veteran news editor, Amanda Bennett, herself a former director of the Voice of America.

She resigned along with other Biden appointees across government as Trump took office.

Brent Bozell heading up Voice of America is like something one might have daydreamed about years ago but never thought seriously would ever happen.

A pro-American to be head of the Voice of America?

What a concept!

This Agency’s budget is $950 million.

Bozell should shut it down.

... L. Brent Bozell III, as his pick to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the parent agency of the Voice of America and other federally owned international broadcasters...

Looks like Bozell is going to be Kari Lake's boss? She was picked to be Voice of America's director.

Did Trump get the OK to do this from the circuit judges in D.C.?

If the Admin is serious about waste, there wouldn’t be any broadcast.

People who love/hate R-U can buy their own transmitter and bid on part of the spectrum. I don’t want one penny of my taxes going to this stupidity.

There is no Article 1, Section 8 basis for this Agency.
