I think that it's pretty hypocritical that a news organisation that is basically funded by one government in order to show the best side of itself to the world can then begin to comment on a country doing exactly the same thing. I want to use this as an objective source of information, but, of course, it is not.

If you refer to our mission statement, you will see that our goal is to provide news for the residents of countries that don't have a free press. While we do receive government funding, the difference is that RFA retains independent editorial control over its journalism, whereas the media organizations in the areas we cover, for the most part, are state-controlled and told what to report.
