Default Voice of America sucks

Uh, no. I haven't found a way to ingest radio broadcasts, but possibly
you have. I would imagine if you ingested enough written reports from
any source they would give you a serious case of indigestion.


I was listening to it and
it was NOTHING BUT PROPERGANDA all the time, other than the sports
section.


Just what exactly is Propaganda (not properganda).


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.


Which news sources give just news that is completely free of bias. I
have yet to find a news source that isn't biased because of the country
the broadcaster originates from. Our view of the world is influenced
by our country of origin.



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
Adam
