President Trump’s team is taking bold action to clean up wasteful spending and fight back against the liberal media machine. Senior adviser Kari Lake is leading the charge to overhaul the U.S. Agency for Global Media, including gutting Voice of America. This comes after Trump signed an executive order to slash bloated government programs.
Kari Lake joined Newsmax’s “Finnerty” to expose how Big Media has lied about Trump for years. She said networks like CBS pushed “fake news” about Russia and tried to steal elections. Lake argued these outlets don’t care about truth—they just want to destroy Trump. Their anti-American bias turned viewers away, she said, which is why ratings crashed and they’re going bankrupt.
The changes at Voice of America are long overdue. Reports show VOA wasted taxpayer money on a $250 million office lease that didn’t even include broadcasting equipment. A shady real estate agent pocketed $9 million from the deal. Lake canceled this scam, saving Americans from funding more corruption.
Worse, VOA became a nest for spies and terrorist supporters, according to internal investigations. The agency pushed propaganda that echoed China and other enemies. Lake said this made America weaker on the world stage. Trump’s order fires these traitors and refocuses the agency on its real mission: telling America’s story without leftist lies.
The liberal media is furious about losing their taxpayer cash cow. They claim shutting down VOA hurts press freedom. But Lake said these are the same people who covered up Hunter Biden’s laptop and pushed the Russia hoax. Real journalists don’t need government handouts—they earn trust by reporting facts.
“Corporate media hates Trump because he exposes their corruption,” Lake told Newsmax. She praised Newsmax for growing rapidly by treating Trump fairly. Networks that parrot Democratic talking points are dying, she said, because Americans are sick of being lied to.
Trump’s team celebrated ending VOA’s biased reporting. They highlighted stories where VOA attacked “white privilege” instead of promoting American values. Taxpayers shouldn’t fund this garbage, they said. The cuts are a huge win for everyone who loves this country.
This cleanup proves Trump keeps his promises. He’s draining the swamp, cutting waste, and stopping the radical Left from hijacking our institutions. While coastal elites whine, real Americans cheer leaders like Kari Lake who put our nation first. The days of fake news dominance are over—and not a moment too soon.
