For me it is not about "enjoying other cultures" but understanding
another countries point of view on current events. Generally I want the
ability to hear this opinion directly though the medium of SW so that
the influence of individuals domestic do not have the opportunity to
screw with this content. I have a great disrespect for the USA news
media that has a tendency to spin everything in favor of a liberal
point of view. Here, for example, the news and opinion provided by
"public radio" on the FM broadcast band provides vast amounts of
amusement.

You have a bizarre sense of humor.
Bizarre is what I wold define opinion as on PBS or alternatively
laughable. If I want the whacked view of current events PBS is the way
to go.

PBS is not a radio network. If you actually listened to NPR you'd
probably remember the name better. No doubt you are skewed to the right
and something straight up the middle will appear left to you.


I'm not skewed to the right. I'm skewed to the truth and facts not
someone's fabrications. If you want to hear news that has been stapled
with a left point of view, folded into a story that satisfies the left
leaning perceptions and mutilated to the point it barely resembles
reality then NPR is the way to go.


My dad was a John Bircher/Minuteman. He loved NPR News; I shudder to
think what may pass for "truth and facts" through your prism.
