Michael Pack s stormy tenure over the federal agency that oversees government-funded broadcasters abroad including Voice of America appears to be coming to a close. Yet President Trump s appointee has sparked an internal outcry by taking bold steps to try to cement his control over at least two of the networks and shape the course of their journalism well into the Biden administration.

WASHINGTON - A former White House aide falsely accused of penning anonymous criticism of President Donald Trump has been named to head the U.S. governmentâs Arabic-language broadcasting outlets.
Victoria Coates was appointed on Tuesday by Trumpâs handpicked head of U.S.-funded international broadcasting to run the Middle East Broadcasting Networks. She had been suspected in some circles of being the inside administration critic who authored the book âAnonymous but had strenuously denied it and vindicated when a former Department of Homeland Security official admitted authorship.
Her appointment, coupled with that of a one-time aide for former Vice-President Dick Cheney to run Radio Free Asia, completes U.S. Agency for Global Media chief Michael Packâs makeover of Voice of America and its sister networks with conservative leaders.
