Voice of America operator plans "sunset" for shortwave radio broadcasts
Even if this were true, as it is always said, "follow the money trail."
Alleged "organizations" and governmental departments are now constantly trying to steer public thought in the direction they want it to go. The reality is that there are new short wave stations sprouting up all the time. However, there are special interest groups that deeply want to convince the brain-dead to abandon that which is already paid for to buy the newest gadgets. The simple fact is that worldwide there are millions of short wave listeners who are under 25, over 25 and it remains viable and useful. Painting the whole world by what some industrialized, capitalistic countries are doing is absurd. The world is a big place but our arrogance often convinces us that we're the only ones on the righteous path. To believe anything else is just "drinking the Kool Aid" and convincing yourself that the only alternative is to rush to Best Buy and buy the newest thing that will enable the government to easily monitor what you're listening to and censor that as well is what they want. No, naysayers...short wave radio will be around for a long time. There are too many honest governments and non-governmental entities that do not want to give up the ability to reach people without borders, firewalls, scanning software, search software and all the other figments of oppression that we once were proud of Radio Free Europe (we thought) for dissolving. Mobility and convenience of terrestrial radio is superior over anything offered by "hot spots", waiting on buffering and clunky non-ergonomic devices like computers or handheld crap with buttons the size of most politician's brains. As for the under-25s...what boneheads. You're always a bonehead when your under 25 which is why they pitch to this group because kids will rush out and buy anything. It's not until your older than 25 that you figure out it's all a con game by the fat titted old men who run everything that they're shaking you down for as much money as they can. |
