I'm sure you are right.

Do the US SW broadcasters speak for the average American? No.

Are the average non-US listeners smart enough to figure that out? Yes.

Hear, hear!

I've been lurking on this group for years and years - and I see so much
bickering and b*tching it's almost like my old headmaster used to say -
"Like washerwomen round the well". Glad to see some level-headed
discussion again. The RFI posts are great too.

At the prices US SW airtime is going I think a few people could get
together and sponsor a "rationalist" segment on as many channels/stations
as we can. Raise a couple of thousand dollars and get someone like Richard
Dawkins to speak, or, perhaps, replay some of Richard Feynman's interviews
from UK's Horizon back in the 1980's.

Yes, and thinking back to the 80s/90s in the UK - we're in the same
situation on TV - a severe lack of critically thought-out and
science-based documentary, in favour of the "shockumentary" - a recent
one could have been subtitled "WiFi in schools is giving your children
cancer!!" - and that was the once-renowned "Panorama".

Sigh...
