Kari Lake, as United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Senior Advisor, has announced a partnership with One America News Network, providing government-funded news services, including Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), “free-of-charge.”
Lake has previously said that the USAGM is unsalvageable, but she told The Gateway Pundit that “there are elements, such as the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB) and Voice of America (VOA), which have elements that are worth saving.”
Statement from Kari Lake:
“United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is excited to announce a partnership with One America News Network (OAN) to provide newsfeed services to USAGM networks, including Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), Radio Martí, and Voice of America (VOA).
This idea came about after OCB suggested we explore OAN as a newsfeed option for the Miami-based, U.S. Government-funded news operation broadcasting to Cuba. At their suggestion, I reached out to OAN, and they offered to provide their newsfeed and video service free-of-charge.
This is an enormous benefit to the American taxpayer, who is the sole-source of funding for USAGM’s news outlets, which broadcast only to international audiences.
In my current role as Senior Advisor to USAGM, I don’t have editorial control over the content of VOA and OCB programming, but I can ensure our outlets have reliable and credible options as they work to craft their reporting and news programs.
And every day I look for ways to save American taxpayers money. Bringing in OAN as a video/news source does both.
OAN is one of the few family-owned American media networks left in the United States. We are grateful for their generosity.”
