Federal judges issued temporary rulings preventing Kari Lake and the U.S. Agency for Global Media from shutting down key international broadcasters like Voice of America. Judge J. Paul Oetken's restraining order prevents further actions to close this historic network, which has ceased operations and production of fresh content. Another judicial decision halted cuts to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's funding, leading to a restoration of financial support. Lake, a controversial figure positioned as a senior adviser, has been vocal about her opposition to perceived liberal biases in these networks as she seeks political control.
Lake suggested Friday night that she wanted to recast the network to serve conservative audiences more effectively, reflecting her ongoing disdain for what she perceives as bias.
The government-owned network, which broadcasts to hundreds of millions of listeners, viewers and readers each week, has shut down operations and produced no fresh content since March 15.
