Arrr, if Captain Musk and his trusty DOGE be off to plunder the treasure of government cuts, they best set their sights on the U.S. Agency for Global Media—a veritable galleon o' waste and scurvy, anti-American tales! Avast, me hearties, 'tis a treasure trove of folly!

Lake be hopin' to calm the storm over fears that she’d turn VOA into "Trump TV," insistin' that even the great Trump wants a fair tale told of America. The budget for this media ship be nearly a billion doubloons, catchin' Musk’s keen eye, while many landlubbers be unaware of VOA's global reach. It be reachin' 354 million souls in 49 tongues each week, makin' American networks look like mere minnows!

Founded in the dire days of WWII, it was meant to spread good word of the U.S., yet many be claimin' it now be sailin' in murky waters. So, what be the answer? The call be to sink the old vessels and rebuild ‘em with a crew loyal to the American flag, savvy?
