Instead of being a voice of freedom, they co-operate with repressive regimes. They are run by Obama nominees these days
Leaders of the Ethiopian American community joined by free media advocates are planning a protest rally on Monday, July 25, in front of the Voice of America (VOA) building in Washington, DC amid charges of censorship of VOA news programs to Ethiopia by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).
According to Voice of America broadcasters who spoke on the condition that their names not be revealed because they fear reprisals, the BBG has tried to silence VOA journalist David Arnold who encouraged reporting that upset BBG members as well as officials of the Ethiopian regime.
In a situation reminiscent of Soviet and East European communist media controls, a high-level manager reportedly forbade VOA Africa Division journalists to take written notes during a staff meeting in which complaints about censorship were raised.
The BBG is a presidentially-appointed bipartisan group which runs VOA and other government-funded U.S. international broadcasters and is supposed to promote freedom of expression and anti-censorship efforts around the world, but has been accused of negotiating with repressive regimes, terminating VOA radio and TV programs to countries that restrict media freedom, including Russia and China, and firing VOA journalists who specialize in human rights reporting.

I find it both amusing, and sad, that there are still people around who can't/won't see Obama for what he truly is. A Marxist. Once you accept that fact, and once you look around him to see who his true handlers are, it then becomes easy to see why he does the things he does, then hides his actions with endless lies.
Apparently, the American people are more impressed with how you speak, than with what you say and mean. Thus, their country is being destroyed from within. Perhaps weak fools deserve nothing better.

So, what are you going to do about it besides moaning and bitching about someone else, in your opinion, moaning and bitching?

The same thing YOU are doing about it.

Even the less specific and more obvious category of "socialist" makes some on the left throw a fit. It's truly amazing how they hate using terms for actions which easily fit the definitions of those terms. One guy I know calls categorizing someone based on whether or not their actions fit the definition of a term a "purity test". They do almost anything to prefer confusion over understanding.
