Comparing VoA to the BBC or CBC is... silly.
The BBC and CBC are public service broadcasters with a primarily domestic market, while VoA and RT are state-controlled international broadcasters. The sources of funding are different, the target market is different, and the entire management structure is different.
The President can dictate through executive order to the VoA, but the Prime Minister cannot dictate what the BBC or CBC does (and, often times, these public service broadcasters are happy to lambast the governing party).

Find me a articles from the VoA or RT that criticize the current President.
Sure, here's a VoA article critical of Biden.
Except... that isn't? That isn't a VoA opinion, it's literally just quoting what other people have said.
