The US Congressman Ed Royce declared that the Russian press is more powerful that the one in the United States; the fact which proves that the US foreign broadcasting needs to be reformed, reports sputnik.com.
"Our nation is getting beaten by Putin propaganda and our international broadcasting is floundering. It’s unacceptable," Royce stated on the occasion. In this context Royce stressed the role of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), an independent federal agency of the US government supervising all government-supported civilian international media, to start reform in the country.
Previously former US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton. called BBG "defunct" agency. On his turn current Secretary of State John Kerry expressed his commitment to reform the agency.
