Voice of America

Only last month Cambodia was praising Trump for shutting down the US media networks Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, which often carried the views of Cambodian dissidents.

Kari Lake, the oft-defeated Republican from Arizona who President Donald Trump made the head of Voice of America, which she is eliminating, reportedly made a fool of herself at a place called Ned’s.

He spent five years as the director of the Voice of America, and then moved to the Seychelles as the U.S. ambassador.

Mr Bozell, 69, was previously nominated to lead the US Agency for Global Media - a now-shuttered umbrella organisation that oversaw Voice of America and Radio Free Europe - but the bid was later withdrawn.

At the time, I was the director of the Voice of America, and VOA was broadcasting in more than 45 languages reaching more than 200 million regular listeners around the world.
