Translation: BBC to receive substantial money from the State Dept to broadcast pro Obama propaganda around the world.

How about Al Jazeera I getting on KCET Los Angeles lately
The state-run media cancer has metastasized.
...to help combat the blocking of TV and internet services in countries including Iran and China.Ludicrous. Regime change in Iran and China is the only thing that will work.
It is just agitprop when government funds any media....it is total bullshit.
