Default Voice of America sucks

Is it just me or does VOA give you the ****s?.I was listening to it and
it was NOTHING BUT PROPERGANDA all the time, other than the sports
section.It was sport and then "how the spread of democracy is help
fighting the war on terror" or some such **** i promptly turn the dial,
it makes me want to throw the radio out of the window.There programs
make a mockery of there slogan on there site "a trusted source of news"
it has got worse since bush has come to power.

It is so bad that the radio station in Australia (ABC newsradio) that
mainly takes programs from overseas sources (i.e DW radio,RNW etc
etc)doesnt take ANY VOA programs its main american radio program is
sourced from NPR.

Rant over

Yours truly
