You forgot Voice of Korea. They may suffer from the same problems
that linger at VoR, but *dang* they're hilarious to listen to.


It's been a long time since I managed to be listening at the right time
to pick them up and listen to their broadcasts. Only left them out
because of lack of first-hand listening experience.

I would much prefer a [news-reporting] media that isn't
biased in any way. Just give me the facts and let me do my
own analysis, thank you very much.


Were there such a news organization...

As Sponge-Bob would say with cheerful sincerity:
"Well - Good Luck With That!"


Hope springs eternal....

Hey, I have relatives from there. I wonder if they're related to the Ace?



Not unless they have tails.

ooops..sorry..The 'Ace' has been extremely well behaved for the last
little while, except for one tiny, forgivable, slip. I have to respect
his self control and continue to refrain from petty, insensitive insults.

Your grandparents news had more relevant contents.

BTW, I remember when the 11P News went from 15 to 30 minutes.

There was 'NO' 11 PM News [.]

I remember when the first tv station came to this city about fifty
something years ago and when I turned on my tv set in the mornings there
was nothing but a test pattern on there for the first two hours or so
and after the 10:00 PM news,it was lights out,no tv till the next
morning.

I no issue with "liberally-biased" media.

But the facts can often make no sense at all without context, and
what context the news organization provides is where most of the
bias comes in.

One thing that's sneaked into the mix is that the US media is so damn
lazy and goes to the Republican affiliated Washington DC think tanks for
commentary to provide this context. Where on an overseas station, like
Radio Aus. or Radio Netherlands, you'll hear a university professor,
on American media you get the background from some guy from some outfit
with "Enterprise" in the name, who is funded by a corporate grant and
directed ideologically by the Republican party apparatus. Even if there
is a more objective commentator, they often get paired in a "Cock Fight"
with one of these mercenary propagandists. (A situation most professors
aren't going to repeat).

Well when I first started watching the Tonight Show regularly the band
played for 15 minutes at 10:15 (Arizona Time) for markets where the
local news was 15 minutes, which KVAR was doing at that time.
