Trump admin dismantles 'firewall' for editorial independence at U.S.-funded media outlets
Lawmakers and press freedom groups fear the administration is trying to turn the U.S.-funded news outlets into partisan mouthpieces.
A senior U.S. official appointed by President Donald Trump has scrapped a federal regulation designed to protect the editorial independence of Voice of America and other U.S.-funded media outlets, amid accusations he is undermining the journalistic credibility of the broadcasters.
Michael Pack, CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media who rescinded the editorial “firewall” regulation late Monday night, said the federal rule was legally flawed, infringed on the president’s right to conduct U.S. foreign policy and was "unworkable.”
Reporters at the U.S.-funded broadcasters have accused Pack of trying to turn the service into a mouthpiece for Trump, and former executives said they expected legal challenges to the decision.

@vivify saidOh bull Trump just wanted to stop Voice Of America from being turned into an Anti-American propaganda machine at government expense.
It never ends with this guy. Never. All you have to do is Google "news" and you're guaranteed to find this a-hole doing something corrupt.
It doesn't end. Not a single day is there any respite; just more and more garbage.
Voice Of America was designed as a Pro-American propaganda machine giving people in commie/fascist countries the REAL story on what's going on.
