The text consists of two chapters, each exploring the funding and operation of a major U.S. media organization: the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees international broadcasting, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which funds public radio and television in the U.S. The first chapter argues that the USAGM is inefficient and has become an instrument of anti-American propaganda by broadcasting networks such as Voice of America (VOA). The second chapter, written from a conservative perspective, argues that the CPB is a waste of taxpayer money that promotes left-wing bias and should be defunded.
