In a move that has set off a firestorm among political observers and media watchdogs alike, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Thursday an investigation by her Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee into alleged “gross negligence” and “rampant cronyism” at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
USAGM, which oversees Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, is intended to serve as a neutral, taxpayer-funded media outlet. Yet, according to Greene, the agency has strayed far from its mission.
