You're making this up. It's known around the world for being US propaganda. Next you'll be saying Stars and Stripes is highly objective.
I'm literally the only one who hasn't made shit up this thread because I've linked sources. Want some more?
Columbia Journalism Review writes in a rather incisive examination of its position as state-run media:
From the Dallas News:
Here's some other bias checking websites.
So certainly you have some sources for your claim that it's US propaganda, right? It's based on more than just the name and you continually asserting it?
Please cite more US sources about the US propaganda outlet.
I honestly could go on; are you claiming that literally all English-language reporting on the VOA (including a fair amount of critical coverage that still talks about its journalistic integrity) is participating in some kind of conspiracy to support its reputation?
Certainly you have evidence of that? Even a single source?
But obviously not. You have no interest in things like "evidence," and asking you to support your absurd assertions is simply a waste of time.
Is your answer to everyone that questions your preferred media outlets narratives on foreign events that they believe in conspiracies? You seem to employ a lot of hyperbolic and binary thinking in your arguments. Have you taken a critical thinking or philosophy course in university before?
Since you keep replying and won't let the argument go, I'll find something you can access for free. But if you want a longer read that will shatter your worldview about mainstream american media outlets like the NYT and WaPo (since your worldview is so insular it will be easy) https://www.amazon.com/Gatekeeper-Robert-Chernomas/dp/1594516839

I could provide more sources but you're not worth my time.
