Statement by Kari Lake:
“We should not be paying outside news organizations to tell us what the news is,” said Lake, who ran unsuccessfully for Arizona governor. “With a nearly billion-dollar budget, we should be producing news ourselves. And if that’s not possible, the American taxpayer should demand to know why.”
Why should VOA be "producing news ourselves"?
So that the Trump administration can literally *control the news*.
