Continuing my review and summarization of Project 2025, Chapter 8 covers US Media Agencies.

1) The US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is not fulfilling its mission and its content was rife with talking points assailing President Trump and his staff.

2) The USAGM should be under direct control of the White House 

3) The USAGM should tell “America’s story” as determined by the President

4) “The USAGM is a story of a lost opportunity both to help restore the world’s confidence in the promise and ideals of America and to set a high mark for journalistic integrity and unbiased reporting.”

Note, Presidential oversight doesn’tnecessarily mean  unbiased reporting, especially when criticism of that president is to be blocked.
