Urdu, Pashto VOA websites inaccessible in Pakistan

Where does the link have the first part of the title in it? Or is this just yet another blatant violation of PDF rules because it is endorsed?

Endorsed by all. Does it bother you? Why does it bother you?. There is evidence of VOA broadcasting anti-state sentiments.

 

[Kompromat]

Awesome

 

[Jaanbaz]

VOA= Funded by American government. Dodgy as ****, frankly I don't trust any media networks whether they are Pakistani or American.

It does not bother me at all.

Just know that people who do not respect rules, specially their own rules, do not garner any respect in the eyes of those who observe the rule of law, and hence pay the price in the long run, as we can observe all around us.

Just sayin'.

This is a Pakistani forum so expect Pakistani sentiments to echo. That is the nature of social issues. Bias is inherent in humans. If you don't like it ... Tough.

Just saying..

A forum that does not respect its own rules?

Only those who hate Pakistan would love such a situation. Only true patriots would speak up for what is the right thing to do.

Back on topic, blocking websites is always a losing game with many workarounds.

It does. But like i said expect some bias.

There is evidence of VOA conducting anti-state pro terrorist broadcasting . So the title is not off base.

The title is a direct violation of PDF rules that do not allow such doctoring. The link has the correct title.

The bias is there, and can remain in the discussion, which is allowed by the rules, of course.

But, NMFP.

As I said above on topic, working around any website blocks is quite easy.

U.S. government agency requests millions to expand anti-China propaganda
By Curtis Stone (People's Daily Online) 15:20, May 25, 2017

The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) is one of the largest media organizations in the world. The agency is also at the forefront of U.S. government efforts to promote American propaganda. Despite’s U.S. President Donald Trump’s promise not to impose America’s way of life on others, the latest BBG budget shows that the U.S. government remains strongly committed to using American power to interfere in the internal affairs of countries that do not share American values.

In the latest budget request, the BBG is requesting $5 million to “rebalance content and programming for Asia,” and the Voice of America (VOA) will maintain Mandarin as a priority and resources will be shifted toward next generation digital/social media content and technology. VOA Mandarin will launch an Internet-delivered 24/7 video news stream to China to provide “a fact-based alternative to domestic media propaganda about the U.S.” Furthermore, VOA will distribute a circumvention app to deliver its propaganda....

The title is a direct violation of PDF rules that do not allow such doctoring. The link has the correct title.

The bias is there, and can remain in the discussion, which is allowed by the rules, of course.

But, NMFP.

Why are you so triggered by the title?.. Do you think VOA is benign???

US State Department Spent Over $1M in Iran to Exploit Unrest


Voice of America Promotes America's Terrorist Enemies
By Paul Sheldon Foote

VOA: “A trusted source of news and information since 1942”?


The Voice of America (VOA) claims to be “A trusted source of news and information since 1942”. While World War II audiences may have held the VOA in high regard, today’s Iraq War audiences know that the VOA has become a neo-conservative (neo-Trotskyite) broadcaster of lies and of propaganda. The VOA broadcasts in foreign languages lies and propaganda the American government does not communicate in English to American citizens.



On March 14, 2007, anyone who knows Persian (Farsi) and who watches Persian language television programs via international satellite dish, was able to see the Voice of America promoting a spokesperson for the Iranian MEK (Rajavi Cult or Pol Pot of Iran). The MEK is a terrorist organization on terrorist lists of the American Department of State (since the administration of former President Bill Clinton) and on terrorist lists in Europe. The MEK has murdered American military officers, Rockwell International employees, and large numbers of Iranian and Iraqi civilians. The MEK was involved in a terrorist act in New York City.

Iraq Government’s Message to America: Trials for the MEK


The neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) claimed that America must invade Iraq to export democracy. Instead, the American military remains an occupying force to prevent the Iraqi government from representing the desires of the Iraqi people.



The Iraqi people know well that the MEK in 1991 killed large numbers of Iraqi civilians to please Saddam Hussein. The MEK murdered large numbers of Kurds, for example, by forcing the Kurds to stand in lines along roads while MEK tanks or armored personnel carriers (supplied by Saddam Hussein) ran over the Kurds. Leaders of the Rajavi Cult had ordered the MEK terrorists not to waste any bullets on killing Kurds. The leaders of the Rajavi Cult wanted to save the bullets for an invasion of Iran.



The Iraqi government continues to demand that it be able to place on trial all MEK terrorists involved in the 1991 atrocities and to expel from Iraq all other MEK terrorists living at Camp Ashraf, Iraq (protected by the Bulgarian and American military). The American occupying forces continue to deny the requests of the Iraqi government.



While these facts are well-known in Iraq and in Iran, how many Americans have ever heard or read about these facts in English in America, a country claiming to have freedom of the press?



VOA Interviewed Terrorist Spokesperson


While the VOA could have interviewed American political leaders or Americans who are opposed to the MEK terrorists, the VOA chose to interview only Alireza Jafarzadeh, a long-time spokesperson for the MEK terrorists.

I am only pointing out the violation of PDF rules, that is all, and how it makes those who tolerate such violations look, but that is their problem.

Back on topic, VoA serves US national interests, and I have no problem with that either. Benign or malignant is not relevant to its role in international geopolitics.

Just like ISIS promotes takfiri Salafi ideology... I guess you have nothing against that either.

I guess you will have an issue if VOA was promoting anti-state propaganda against India.
