am embarrassed.I dont use google.I have some trouble in expressing what I want to say about politic...

You know，the translation tool is helpful to us。It's necessary for me to write post。I ofen use Google translation and dict.cn，maybe it also can help you。Your English is better than me，but I don't think you can understand these guys just rely on yourself。

I think it's more we would never tolerate a state run media or trust it's authenticity. With a democracy the majority party would be using it to shape the news and maintain control. A free media is essential in a republic. Although VOA may be accurate it is state run so not free. When I watch the news I can be reasonably certain it's the truth as best to those reporting know it not what my government wants me to believe.
