Keep in mind that virtually every state-media outlet claims editorial independence, regardless of all the evidence to the contrary.

For example, Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe, Open Technology Fund, Current Time TV, Alhurra, Radio Sawa, and Radio Televisión Martí are all part of the US Agency for Global Media (formerly known as the Broadcasting Board of Governors), which requires its outlets through its top broadcasting standards to be “consistent with the broad foreign policy objectives of the United States” along with its broadcasting principle of “The capability to provide a surge capacity to support United States foreign policy objectives during crises abroad”. According to the spokesperson of the House Foreign Affairs Committee:

We pay for the VOA to provide news that supports our national security objectives.

USAGM’s CEO is appointed by the U.S. President. The current CEO is Kelu Chao, who was appointed by Biden and has been reinstalling many of the USAGM executives at Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe that were purged by the former CEO Michael Pack (Trump's appointee).
