It's an arm of propaganda really... Voice of America and all that.
Too bad about the BBC. I'm a listener, via shortwave and NPR.
But, the UK is deep into the austerity gobshite. Sigh.

AZ and the West Coast are running on the same time for the rest of the summer, something I used to appreciate when I was driving for Knight Transportation, which is based in Phoenix. I could keep the watch I used to fill out my logbook set to the time at my QTH.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Even though it probably is, they do have policies such as a requirement for independent verification from 2 sources. That makes them better than most private US news sources.
Of course there have been accusations of shady practices such as jamming and then there are the propaganda broadcasts to Cuba although those aren't officially part of the VOA... that's why you trust no one and verify your sources on your own.
