Washington, May 9 (RHC)-- In the U.S., the staff at the Voice of America network are expressing alarm after presidential adviser Kari Lake announced the beleaguered media outlet will start carrying content provided by the far-right, Trump-allied One America News.  

OAN has spread conspiracy theories about election fraud in 2020 and COVID, among other things. 

VOA was forced to stop broadcasting, and over 1,000 staffers are still on forced administrative leave amid pending legal challenges to Trump’s order to dismantle the outlet.
 
Voice of America reporters involved in the case against the Trump administration responded to the latest news: “Congress mandated VOA to report reliable and authoritative news, not to outsource its journalism to outlets aligned with the president’s agenda.”
