President Donald Trump has picked the founder of the nation’s top conservative media watchdogs to lead the agency that oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and Radio Marti.
In choosing L. Brent Bozell III to head the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Trump signaled an end to the liberal pitch in the diplomatic voices broadcast by the outlets as he moves to set an America-first agenda.
“As founder and president of the Media Research Center for 38 years, few understand the Global Media landscape in print, television, and online better than Brent,” said Trump.
I AM HONORED TO BE CHOSEN BY PRESIDENT TRUMP TO SERVE AS THE NEXT CEO OF THE U.S. AGENCY FOR GLOBAL MEDIA.
THERE IS LOTS OF WORK TO BE DONE. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING WITH SENATORS AHEAD OF MY CONFIRMATION HEARING TO EXPLORE HOW BEST TO ENSURE THE PRIORITIES OF THE PRESIDENT… PIC.TWITTER.COM/2X3ZC4LT19
