Shortwave radio is the only truly global information medium that can't

I would consider China, N.Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Vietnam, Pakistan,
and many others to very heavilly censored and controlled.

I'm talking about the medium of shortwave radio itself, not the
individual stations. Look at how a medium like say XM Satellite Radio or
Directv is set up and controlled vs how shortwave radio as a medium is
uncontrolled. With XM or Directv the entity controls all access and
controls what is broadcast. With shortwave, I can choose to listen to
the BBC or to Voice of Korea. In China, the Chinese can choose to listen
to CNR or to Radio Free Asia (albeit secretly). See what I mean?

You are a prime target for disinformation. Always assume you are
being lied to, especially by those whom you are injclined to trust the
most.

Paranoia is awareness.

Let me get this straight. You rely on a fee for service media service
(XM satellite radio) for news, uncritically post far left wing
editorials off the internet as fact, and then call ME disinformed when I
point out that shortwave, as a free medium that relies on atmospheric
characteristics that cannot be controlled, is far superior to a medium
controlled by a huge corporation that makes you pay a monthly
subscription fee for access? Your thought processes don't make sense.

I pay a fee to them so I can have the same content at will that you
get sporadically.
