This is heartbreaking. RIP VOA.

“in support of freedom and democracy”. I wonder how exactly Lake would define that democracy she’s referring to.

She wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped her across the face

If you can decipher Republican code, it sounds like VoA's days are numbered. It will likely cease to exist in its current form. VoA - like the BBC - was always a reliable source of information and a beacon of hope for those not living in a democracy.

Translation: “I’m the new Tokyo Rose, shilling for Trump.”

Do we know what, if anything, the change in title indicates?

Her appointment cannot take effect until Senate appoints permanent chief of USAGM — Trump has nominated Brent Bozell - it then would have to be ok’d by bipartisan board.

In meantime, she has been appointed a special asst to president assigned to USAGM.
