Bolivian President Evo Moarles weighed in on the controversy over remarks made earlier this month by Andrew Lack, the new chief executive of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).

The BBG is noteworthy for its connection to the CIA's effort to control media and dispense white propaganda. The United States government agency controls the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Marti and TV Marti. CIA control of these organizations is well documented.

BBG is also associated with the United States Information Agency and the National Endowment for Democracy. "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA," Allen Weinstein, who helped draft the legislation establishing NED, said in 1991.

"When the media turns into the voice of the people, especially in the voice of revolutionaries, there are those people and the media, who will judge them and falsify the truth," Morales told RT, the Russian state-funded cable and satellite television channel. "This media is the voice of the developing countries, the voice of the peoples of the world, and it deserves our admiration."
