Is it just me or does VOA give you the ****s?

Speaking for myself the drive by media does that for me.

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

Propaganda is the REASON VOA or any other government run station is on
the air. Australia and other nations have their own brand of propaganda.
It has always been this way.
