Untold damage done by Trump's presidency - part whatever

[Michael Pack, the] conservative filmmaker who recently took over a United States global media agency removed the chiefs of four news organizations under its purview on Wednesday night.

[...]

Pack, also dismissed the head of a technology group and replaced the bipartisan boards that govern and advise those five organizations. The boards, which all have the same members, are now filled largely with political appointees of the Trump administration, including Mr. Pack as chairman.

[...]

Mr. Pack is a close ally of Stephen K. Bannon, the former campaign strategist and White House adviser to President Trump who has urged Mr. Trump to take charge of the news organizations and reshape them to his purposes. Democrats in the Senate held up Mr. Pack’s nomination for years, but Mr. Trump urged Republicans in recent weeks to push through the confirmation [, despite the recent disclosure of legal problems surrounding him].

Last month, the attorney general for the District of Columbia said his office was investigating whether Mr. Pack had illegally enriched himself by sending $1.6 million from the Public Media Lab, a nonprofit group he oversees, to his for-profit film production company.

The organizational heads dismissed Wednesday night were Bay Fang of Radio Free Asia; Jamie Fly of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty; Alberto M. Fernandez of Middle East Broadcasting Networks; Emilio Vazquez of the Office of Cuba Broadcasting; and Libby Liu of the Open Technology Fund.

Jeffrey Shapiro, who is close to Mr. Bannon and used to write for Breitbart News, which Mr. Bannon previously ran, has been closely involved in efforts to reshape the U.S. Agency for Global Media. He could be soon named as head of Cuba Broadcasting, said one person with knowledge of the discussions.

On Monday, Amanda Bennett, the director of Voice of America, and Sandra Sugawara, the deputy director, resigned. Voice of America, the largest American international broadcaster, is overseen by the global media agency, and it had come under extraordinary attack from the White House in recent months. Administration officials had falsely accused it of disseminating Chinese propaganda. In fact, Beijing has consistently criticized its reporting and imposed visa restrictions on its journalists.

Brett Bruen, a former career diplomat and director of global engagement on President Barack Obama’s National Security Council, pointed to the “long history of bipartisanship” of the news organizations in criticizing Mr. Pack’s move. “They don’t present a Republican or Democratic voice to the world,” he said. “They have always put forward an American, a credible voice.”

“Pack appears to have tossed that hard-fought reputation out the window,” he added. “You don’t get it back in years or even decades. It’s gone.”

So much of America is in the same boat.

Really, though, all these broadcasting agencies were American propaganda units.  They'll just now be Trump/white supremacist propaganda units.
