President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order on Friday aimed at preventing taxpayer funds from being used for what he described as "radical propaganda."
Dan Robinson, who has 34 years of experience with Voice of America and served as its White House correspondent, expressed concerns about the agency in a statement last year. He said, "I have monitored the agency’s bureaucracy along with many of its reporters and concluded that it has essentially become a hubris-filled rogue operation often reflecting a leftist bias aligned with partisan national media. It has sought to avoid accountability for violations of journalistic standards and mismanagement."
