Trump adviser Kari Lake confirmed this week that the US Agency for Global Media was effectively blocking Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty from using an agency transmitter in the Middle East to broadcast updates from the Iranian protests, claiming it’s so the outlets didn’t send “mixed messages.”
Lake, the longtime MAGA loyalist who now acts as the CEO of the USAGM, took to Facebook Tuesday night to rail against the “fake news” after it was reported that she’d prevented Radio Free Europe from accessing the transmitter in Kuwait.
