Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the Voice of America news service of "demeaning America" in a speech that a watchdog group criticized as "political propaganda" and a violation of the government-funded agency's own rules.

彭佩奥要求VOA搞土共那一套宣传，少批评多表扬美国，按照“道德”宣传
Pompeo also asserted that it was "morally wrong" for VOA staff to object to his speech, using the whistleblower complaint as an excuse to launch into a culture war rant at the journalists listening to him in the auditorium.
"We are all parts of institutions with duties and responsibilities higher than any of us. And this kind of censorial instinct is dangerous. It's morally wrong. And it's against your mandate," Pompeo claimed. Minutes after seeming to suggest VOA journalists skew their coverage of the US to more positive news, Pompeo said, "censorship, wokeness, political correctness, it all points in one direction -- authoritarianism, cloaked as moral righteousness. It's similar to what we're seeing at Twitter, and Facebook, and Apple, and on too many university campuses."
