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 Adam |

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 VOA should be re-named: "Amerika Kisses Israeli Ass Radio". VOA is a Govt broadcasting service so what else are we to expect? Why is it a suprise that the first thing the Israeli's bombed in Lebanon was the remote TV and Radio transmission facilities of Al Jazeera and Al Arabia ? Amerika kisses jew ass 24/7 cause if they dont the dirty kikes will crash the FED and the USA Banking System that will precipitate a 2nd Civil War. (which at this point looks more and more to be a possible good thing in the end game long run ??) No anti-semitism mmkay?. |

Not necessarily radio australia doesnt broadcast properganda it broadcasts what the ABC broadcasts basically and its got complaints from the current govt of "anti-governent and left-wing bias" so no it isnt like that.But VOA makes all its programs as properganda which wouldent annoy me if they didnt claim to be a reliable news source.Im not the only one who thinks its sucks.Here is what my friend said about the VOA service. Most people just ignore VOA rather than give it the time of day, it used to have a purpose but that died with the cold war. That sums it up, i heard that VOA is going to wind up its english service soon. Good riddance Yours truly Adam |

I don't agree with this thread. As a listener in the Third World that is hysterically pro Palestinian, it is important to get the official view of the American government, the most powerful country in the World. It is refreshing to get the official American government point of view from VOA with sound bites from George W Bush. Even the BBC to my mind is somewhat biased towards the Palestinians. So the VOA provides balance to my listening where I can learn of the atrocities and provocations the Palestinians heap upon the Israeli's. Some would say you are so full of it that your eyes are turning brown. ========================================= To be Palestinian Arab in the land usurped by European Jews is to be considered untermensch in the territory your forefathers once called home. The devastation fifty-five years of invasion, occupation and state terrorism has had on both people and land has created the conditions by which Gaza and the West Bank can today be called Hell on Earth, pockets of destitute emptiness where opportunity is extinct and any relevant future is a but a hollow fantasy. http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-b...06/07/19/p9484 ========================================= |

Hmm yes i can and do listen to CRI without having the urge to throw the radio out of the window.VOA is soooo blatant in its properganda its not funny you dont see this on CRI i couldent speak about radio havana because unfortunately they dont broadcast here (although i would be happy if there is link to listen to it online). Voice of korea is so blatant its funny, its even got a cult following of sorts amongst people who dont support DRPK, but listen to it because its so overtop and oversold its hard to take seriously and is actually entertaining.Ive listen to a little of the radio from south korea, its ok and radio japan is good to at times it can be a little too fluffy for my liking. BBC world service is top shelf i listen to that EVERY DAY ditto DW radio. I must listen to radio phillipines one day its seems a little elusive. :) |

adam wrote: Is it just me or does VOA give you the ****s?. 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.
