>"In your story on Afghanistan we are told that a
>government imposed by a foreign military power and
>unpopular with the majority of the local population is
>a "democracy." Elsewhere in your programming, you
>portray governments of countries like Cuba or
>Venezuela that enjoy local popular support but are
>opposed by the US as regimes or autocracies. It seems
>that NPR’s definition of ‘democracy” is “a government
>currently endorsed by US authorities.” If this is not
>Orwellian newspeak, I do no know what is."
>
>I urge everyone on list NOT to support the NPR
>propaganda machine (in case someone is dumb enough to
>send them any money.) They should be paid by those
>whose interests they represent - the USG and the
>coprorate America, and if not, fuck them.
