Default Radio Sweden to leave shortwave



Another example of stupid broadcasters which have bought the crap about the
Internet being a REPLACEMENT for better options drinking the Kool Aid. They
read "better" but all they care about is "cheaper" at the expense of
audience and service. I'll wager it's more a decision based on audience
restriction and identifying
who is listening.

They are kidding themselves. Even on so-called "high speed" they're deluding
themselves by calling it "streaming audio." There is nothing "streaming"
about it. It's slow and inconsistent in feed. Just like the stupid digital
TV system they forced on us to get us to buy new TV sets. (How do you like
those frozen frames and white pixels all the time?)

Portability. Non existent.

Privacy? Hah! Wait until Internet #2 gets cranked up and the dark sinister
shadows that control EVERYTHING decide they don't want us to hear what Radio
Sweden has to say; it'll be shut off pronto. (And don't kid yourselves...at
the rate we are gong around the world ****ing off nations, Sweden's time
will come).

Thankfully there are many other options and Radio Sweden can go to hell as
far as I am concerned. Sweden once was considered a nation of freedom and
without oppression. They're now also showing their government's real agenda
with surveillance and prohibiting their citizens from freedom of speech. The
creeps that run Sweden want the same things that the creeps who run other
oppressive countries now want.

Good DX.
