    Republican narrative

    This appointment would put a trusted Trump ally in charge of a vital international media outlet. Lake would ensure American values are broadcast fairly and accurately worldwide, countering fake news and promoting democracy through truthful reporting.

    Installing a media-hostile election denier to lead an independent news organization makes this a dangerous potential appointment. Lake would threaten VOA's journalistic integrity and risk turning a respected global broadcaster into a propaganda outlet — undermining its mission of objective reporting.
