Slanted "reporting" on Rohingya Issue - this "reporter" is agreeing with everything junta minister says --

http://www.rfa.org/burmese/ see broadcast of 10-2-2012 As Dr Maung Zarni said in a recent interview, the radio/tv stations outside are already compromised as wish to have access to inside Burma - this reporter agrees and buys into the junta minister saying that "they have been seeping into Burma slowly." As US taxpayers whose tax money pays their salaries, this sort of sycophancy on air should stop. If you are serious about human rights, pl ask the radio stations to provide transcripts/official translations and write to them that this sort of propaganda for the regime at taxpayer expense is unacceptable. kmk If you don't speak Burmese, just count how many times the pretty woman says "hoke ke par" or "hoke ke" i.e. "yes."
