TL;DR

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to appoint Kari Lake, a staunch ally and 2020 election denier, to lead Voice of America (VOA), a major US international broadcasting service. Lake, a former news anchor and failed political candidate, has been a vocal critic of the media. Her appointment raises concerns about media independence, given her past controversial remarks and Trump's previous criticisms of VOA. The move is part of a series of appointments by Trump, who plans to announce the head of the US Agency for Global Media soon.
