Biden Administration Removes Trump Allies from U.S.-Funded News Outlets

WASHINGTON — The acting chief of the United States Agency for Global Media has fired the leaders of multiple federally funded news outlets, as part of the Biden administration’s sweeping effort to clear the agency of allies of President Donald J. Trump.

The acting chief, Kelu Chao, fired the heads of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia and the Middle East Broadcasting Network on Friday evening, according to two people familiar with the matter.

They had been appointed in December by the agency’s chief executive at the time, Michael Pack, an ally of the former Trump aide Stephen K. Bannon, as part of a broader effort to remove what he believed was partisan bias from the news outlets. Numerous current and former employees at the agency had accused Mr. Pack of trying to turn it into a mouthpiece for the Trump administration.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Agency for Global Media declined to comment.

2. It would be great if we could purge domestic media

of organizations that spew lies and hate and deliberately misinform.

Limbaugh and Fox immediately come to mind.

5. We also need to remove tripe like the Limbaugh show from Armed Forces Radio.

It's beyond ridiculous that we are providing a platform for traitors to spew propaganda to our troops.
