""Asked about VOA's credibility as a government-owned broadcaster
reporting on U.S. elections, Ensor said the network's credibility is very high
abroad. It is in Washington D.C., he said, where VOA credibility was questioned
more often. And one reason Ensor offered was that Americans do not see or hear
VOA programs, because of the Smith-Mundt Act prohibiting VOA from broadcasting
to domestic U.S. audiences.""
