President Donald Trump has picked Brent Bozell, founder of a conservative nonprofit that exposes bias in U.S. news outlets, to serve as CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the parent of federally owned broadcasters such as Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.

Trump made the announcement in a Jan. 22 post on Truth Social, in which he highlighted Bozell’s advocacy for traditional American values and expressed hope that USAGM would thrive under his leadership.
