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.

leave for work.

Adam,

The Voice of America (VOA) is NOT Air America Radio
and hopefully never will be . . .

First - I Listen To The Voice of America (VOA) To Hear :
What We Americans Are Saying About Ourselves To The World !
http://www.voanews.com/english/portal.cfm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOA

When I need a reminder how whinny and out of touch Liberals
can be : I tune-in to Air America Radio for about Five Minutes
and get a dose of their 'sick-sad-reality' of the world - all to often
liberally tainted with hate-america and blame-americans.

- What the Hell are you babbling about now?
-
- Maybe you should listen longer than 5 minutes.
- I suggest the 3A zulu Hour of Mike Malloy.

DaviD - See you do understand
After 5 Minutes of Air America
- - - Its All Liberal-Psycho-Babble ! ~ RHF

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.

Telamon - True and the simple fact is :
Governmental International Shortwave Broadcasting 'is'
all about Getting-Your-Message-Out 'to' The World [.]
http://www.shortwave.be/gov.html

Actually at times it seem (to me) that the VOA goes
beyond fair-and-balanced -and- actually sounds like it
is apologizing for BEING "The Voice of America" !

I listen to Deutsche Wella (DW) to hear News from Germany
with a German and European 'perspective'.
http://www.dw-world.de/

I listen to "Radio Habana Cuba {RHC} to hear the News from
Castro's Cuba with a Communist and Anti-America 'perspective'.
http://www.radiohc.cu/ingles/portada.htm
- - - Include Radio China Radio International (CRI) and
The Voice of {North} Korea to this 'perspective'.
http://en.chinabroadcast.cn/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_Korea

I listen to "The BBC" to hear News from "The UK" with
an English and America's Closest Allie 'perspective'.
http://www.bbcworld.com/
http://news.bbc.co.uk/
- - - Down this list are Radio Canada International (RCI);
Radio Australia (ABC) and Radio New Zealand (RNZ)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Canada_International
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Australia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_New_Zealand

I listen to Radio Japan (NHK World) to hear News from
Japan and Asia with a far-side of the Pacific 'perspective'.
http://www.nhk.or.jp/english/
- - - Include Radio Taiwan; Radio {South} Korea and
the Radio Philippines to this 'perspective'.

What We Americans Are Saying About Ourselves To The World !

yes it is that simple ~ RHF
.

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.

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
