He did not address last week&#8217;s assault on Congress by a mob filled with President Trump&#8217;s avowed supporters in his remarks, nor was he asked about it in a congenial question-and-answer session by VOA&#8217;s new director, Robert R. Reilly. To date, Pompeo, a steadfast Trump ally, has not substantively addressed the attack on the U.S. Capitol at all.<\/p>\n<p>As Pompeo walked out of the VOA building, giving a thumbs up to a man with whom he exchanged remarks in the crowded foyer, Widakuswara lobbed several questions. She asked what he was doing to repair the reputation of the U.S. around the world. She finally asked: &#8220;Mr. Secretary, do you regret saying there will be a second Trump administration?&#8221; Pompeo did not acknowledge the questions.<\/p>\n<p>She tweeted out videotaped footage of that exchange, which showed a throng of people around. Contemporaneous audio obtained by NPR shows she then turned to press Reilly: &#8220;Mr. Director, why did you not ask any of the questions that we wanted to know about?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He asked who she was, and Widakuswara identified herself as a Voice of America White House reporter. An irate Reilly can be heard saying, &#8220;You obviously don&#8217;t know how to behave,&#8221; adding, she wasn&#8217;t &#8220;authorized&#8221; to be there to ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>Widakuswara: &#8220;I know, but I am a journalist, and I am paid to ask questions.&#8221;[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/01\/12\/955976976\/voice-of-america-white-house-reporter-reassigned-after-questioning-pompeo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8230;<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/voice-america-journalists-demand-resignation-top-officials-protest-sidelining-two-n1254280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Voice of America journalists demand resignation of top officials, protest sidelining of two staffers (NBC News)<\/a><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is not out of order for VOA journalists to ask questions of U.S. government officials. It is our job,\u201d the journalists wrote in a letter.<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 A group of Voice of America journalists has signed a letter demanding the resignation of the director of VOA and his deputy, accusing them of using the network &#8220;to stage a propaganda event&#8221; for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and for the &#8220;sudden and unexplained&#8221; reassignments of the chief news editor and White House correspondent.<\/p>\n<p>The journalists said the actions of VOA Director Robert Reilly and Deputy Director Elizabeth Robbins violated the network&#8217;s decades-old charter, which states that the U.S.-funded outlet does not speak for the U.S. government, according to the letter obtained by NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>Reilly and Robbins were recently installed by President Donald Trump\u2019s appointee, Michael Pack, who runs the parent agency that oversees VOA, the U.S. Agency for Global Media.<\/p>\n<p>The letter was sent to Pack, Reilly and Robbins and has so far been signed by two dozen journalists from the VOA&#8217;s staff of about 1,000.<\/p>\n<p>At the network&#8217;s headquarters in Washington on Monday, Pompeo delivered a speech carried live on VOA, extolling the virtues of America&#8217;s free press and accusing the service of having overly negative coverage of the U.S. in the past. The broadcasters&#8217; reporters were barred from asking questions and outside media were not allowed to attend, according to the letter and journalists who spoke to NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo &#8220;used this opportunity to attempt to direct VOA journalists to cease critical coverage of the United States,&#8221; and Reilly, who was on stage with the secretary of state, &#8220;did not challenge him \u2014 a disservice to our international audience,&#8221; the letter said.[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/voice-america-journalists-demand-resignation-top-officials-protest-sidelining-two-n1254280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8230;<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Do you enjoy the SWLing Post?<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Please consider supporting us via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=7466002&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fswling.com%2Fblog%2F&amp;utm_medium=widget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u%3D7466002%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fswling.com%252Fblog%252F%26utm_medium%3Dwidget&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEe7C7aRTKqwuFkU5YIo8XEqPqthw\"><span class=\"il\">Patreon<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=TGGFP2XVZDPP2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd%3D_s-xclick%26hosted_button_id%3DTGGFP2XVZDPP2&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH45maBgVLGpqLmQQvviVKBNMEGUw\"><span class=\"il\">Coffee<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Fund<\/span><\/a>! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Your support makes articles like this one possible.
