"Never Miss" Programming
Hey, all...
As slight detour from the technical specs that go over my head and the flame wars between people I don't know, I thought I'd ask everyone which radio programming they most enjoy. Me, I like Alex Jones, Art Bell, the BBC World Service, and Radio Cairo. And I think John Batchelor on WABC 770 in New York is the absolutely most informative show on radio. ************************************************** ****** Rev.

Hi Rev :)
I like Radio New Zealand and Radio Nacional Do Amazonia in Brazil. I pass over any religious stations because I find very very few to be my cup of tea and I dislike the way religion is used as a means to make a living, but that is my personal bias. I also like Radio Vlaanderen International and Radio Netherlands because I like hearing what is going on in the rest of the world. I don't trust our government to speak the truth anymore, and I don't trust the media to be factual either because they are driven by the urge to splash sensational headlines and abandon a worthy story because it no longer carries the impact it did. I also like listening to Hams, GHFS and weather stations. "Strength and Honor" "Rev. Tim McIntire" wrote in message ... Hey, all...

I figure it's probably not a good idea to get your information from any one source - left, right, commercial, governmental, or otherwise. What I love about SWL is that it lets me get different perspectives from a variety of sources so that I can then make up my own mind about things. ************************************************** ****** Rev.

But is is a good to have an idea wich source to trust more or less. Unfortunately, that's not an easy thing to do, which is why I agree with the perspective about using multiple sources--SW included. I always somewhat baffled when someone says they listen to international SW broadcasters because they do not "trust" U.S. media. While I agree that I may not be wise to always trust our own media, I'm not convinced at all that international broadcasters such as Radio Netherlands, DW, or the BBC are any more trustworthy on a case by case basis. The fact is -all- media consistently reflect the biases of those responsible for the creation of the content. |

In germany the influence of gouvernment on media is very limited by strong laws. We agree partially on this one. Certainly VOA is an arm of the U.S. government, but I believe what they -do- say is more non-partisan ("bland" might be another term) than much of what is broadcast on our private sector media. I'd agree, though, that the devil is in what they -don't- say. While I understand your point relating to the lack of influence of government on media in Germany, that does not mean that the media (e.g., DW) does not have its own biases--only that those biases are not government influenced. |

I pass over any religious stations because I find very very few to be my cup of tea and I dislike the way religion is used as a means to make a living, but that is my personal bias. I personally don't like the form of Christianity that stations like WWCR push. I find it to be very bigoted, hateful, and greedy. I doubt Jesus would have approved. I also like Radio Vlaanderen International and Radio Netherlands because I like hearing what is going on in the rest of the world. I don't trust our government to speak the truth anymore, and I don't trust the media to be factual either because they are driven by the urge to splash sensational headlines and abandon a worthy story because it no longer carries the impact it did. I like Radio Netherlands too. I also like Radio Exterior De Espan~a's news-when I can hear it, which isn't often nowadays (today they were under the noise floor). I trust their news more than American news (although I DO watch NBC, just to have a point of reference when debating on usenet with people who only know American news). I've tried Vlaanderen, and it seems to me that they're mostly focused on Belgian national news rather than international news. But that was a while ago, maybe they've changed. Considering how much the American government lies to its people, I'd trust a crack addict with my money before I'd trust the Bush Administration with the truth. I also like listening to Hams, GHFS and weather stations. Hams have always bored me. As for weather stations, I find that I'm enjoying my little $1.98 Weatheradio. Although the weather doesn't do dramatic shifts here like it does in other parts of the country, the loop tape still makes for interesting listening. I'm also a big fan of plain old DXing-when I wake up real early, which is about once a week, I tune around to see what I can get. I hang out mostly on 49m and 31m-41m has too much ham QRM, the tropical bands don't come in too well around here, and there seems to be a high noise floor above 10 Mhz. "Strength and Honor" "Rev.

Someone mentioned John Batchelor on WABC in New York. Are you saying
WABC is on shortwave too? |
I don't think he is; I just mentioned him because his is a radio show I
definitely try to catch every night. "Vic Martinez" wrote in message ... Someone mentioned John Batchelor on WABC in New York.

RTM,
YES - The John Batchelor Show on ABC Radio Network is not on Shortwave BBBBBBBuuuuuuuutttttttttt............ He has knlowledgeable Persons "In-Country" who are 'politically aware' that contribute regulary and are a major part of the Program Content. If I were a citizen of foreign country and wanted some FACTUAL News Reporting from the USofA. That is NOT Filtered by my own Governments or the Liberal Media of the USofA.

John Batchelor is brilliant at what he does. If I had to come up with a name for just exactly what that is I would call it "Radio Intrigue". Sometimes I'm almost giddy like a kid in the Depression listening to The Shadow when I hear his take on the Great Game being played out around the world. His format with its mixture of soundbites and choice musical cuts is nonpareil, but unfortunately I believe he is the high apostle of the neoconservatives, so I do not take seriously his politics, at least, not all the time. On the other hand it is hard to fault a guy who can line up an interview with Gary Kasparov and expound eloquently on the Barnes Foundation.

BD - Is the TRUTH - Right Wing ?
BD - Are the FACTS - Wacko ? Fequently the John Batchelor Show breaks news that is picked-up the next day by other media sources. Case-In-Point: The Spanish Intelligence Reports that confirmed the Al Qaida was behind the Train Bombings in Spain. The next day this 'Intel' was a feature item on both NPR Radio and the PBS Nightly News citing the same sources.

He's definitely of a conservative bent, but even a leftie like me can really get into his guests, who are several cuts above your usual talking head. I don't take anybody's word as gospel on the radio, but he goes out of his way to find people who really seem to know their stuff. Last week he had on a guy who'd done commando stuff for the OSS during World War II. Quite possibly the most interesting hour of radio I've ever heard. ************************************************** ****** Rev.

The VOA was created as a government propaganda station. It's content is, not
surprisingly, government propaganda. Did you think it was an independant? "Volker Tonn" wrote in message ... T. Early schrieb: ...
