Brent Bazella is a conservative activist and the head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), appointed by former President Donald Trump. His leadership has been marked by controversy, particularly regarding funding cuts to media outlets like Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which he and others have criticized as inefficient and financially burdensome for American taxpayers. Under his direction, USAGM has faced significant scrutiny and challenges, especially in light of recent government funding reductions.
