TRANSCRIPT:
Correspondents from Voice of America has been to TV Azteca a very important part of the news programs because they have truthful information. They were always balanced, we always know the American perspective of news because sometimes we need this perspective to understand the policies that are making in United States and how [it] affected us.
As VOA, you can provide us information that we cannot afford to cover without you, for example, the things that happens in Middle East, in Europe. The programs of analysis that you were making in Spanish, they were also very important for the audience because you have the context.
I really hope that Voice of America come back because it’s very important to our audiences here in Mexico, and from Latin America the places where we transmit, to have these correspondents very balanced, very prepared, with all the perspective from United States to the world because we always have been thinking that United States has the power to get to all of the world, to influence. And I think that without Voice of America, United States is losing this influence.
