Agency for Global Media chief Michael Pack said Thursday his staff is looking into the segment that it called “pro-Biden” and weighing disciplinary action against those responsible. Pack has drawn criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for initiating a major shakeup of the agency that oversees VOA and its sister networks. His response to the video package could intensify those concerns while heartening VOA critics, including at the White House, who believe the agency is biased against Trump. That criticism exploded earlier this year when the White House attacked VOA for its coverage of COVID-19. The director and deputy director of VOA resigned within days of Pack taking control of AGM in early June.
