Best unbiased SW REAL newscasts?
 

Not meaning to sound paranoid about the politically controlled newscasts
here in the U.S., but can someone recommend a good reliable SW station that
provides real, honest to God, true facts and figures newscasts?

It would be great to listen to someone who is without bias, and not trying
to achieve their own agenda...

Or are there any stations left?

Thanks.

Ditto..

I woould suggest radio Nerw Zealand or radio Australia, but I think
they usually broadcast excerpts from the BBC when they speak on
international subjects.
Good for Pacific Basin stuff

The BBC also has financial news from round the world

Radio China International is a good source for China related news...

BBC tends to be somewhat on the liberal side, but the depth of their
reporting is unmatched by anybody else. And they report stuff that isn't
reported or is underreported by US media. If you're solely looking for
news about the US that isn't reported in the US, and don't care about
bias, Radio Havana is always interesting. They're very radical by US
standards in their bias, and their object is to make the US look as bad
as possible, but every so often they get a real doozy of a story that US
media doesn't pick up on or picks up on a couple days later. They're
also good for hearing the Muslim side of the conflicts in the Middle
East.

RHC copy writers are damn clever. Nothing they say is a lie, but the
news is really a hit piece. I'd like to know where Cuba finds people
with such an understanding of American nuance.

What ever happened to Monitor Radio out of Boston?

There's a few American's who work at RHC... one of them actually a airplane
hijacker who allegedly murdered a police officer before hijacking said aircraft.

You can also do a Google on the names.

I also recommend that you try Radio Havana, but also try Rush Limbaugh, Air
America, Drudge, CNN, Focus on the Family, C-Span, NY Times, your local
newspaper, and as many other sources you can find. And then take all that
information, and compile it into your own version of the truth. Each of us
is responsible for our own destiny, and so each of us must be responsible
for our own version of the truth.

Thanks guys,

Although I would hardly call the BBC "agenda free" - and certainly not Cuba.

I guess the answer to my question is - there are none...kinda what I
thought...

Sad.

If you get your news from corporate media you will quickly become
insane. The BBC gets the facts right. Learn to listen past their
sarcastic tones of voice. I like WRN on Sirius.

JLewis:

I am afraid your observations are all too true... as, if you cannot
trust the news in the "free'est country in the world", then how is any
above suspicion... and don't we notice there is a REAL problem with
that...

Warmest regards,
John

I disagree.

First, when the UK gets a little too deep into some exercise of
imperial colonialist nostalgia, they follow the government line.
(After all, the Foreign Office pays their bills).

Second, they're too prone to go to the progaganda sections of
the US Republican Noise Machine for "balance". They'll get some
mouthpiece from Cato, American Enterprise, Heritage, etc to
"get another viewpoint". That's one of the main purposes of those
outfits, to make some ideological whack job idea seem mainstream.
They're as balanced as Radio Havana, on the other side.

My favorite is the weekly programs from Radio Australia, "Background
Briefing", "Media Report", "Law Report", "Correspondent's Report".
(They are biased a bit to the left, but then so am I). They're also
the sort of in depth investigative stuff that a US listener can only
dream about.

Yep. If you try looking for "unbiased" news, after a while you start
feeling like Diogenes wandering around Athens with a lamp in broad
daylight looking for the truly honest man. He never found him, and you
won't find unbiased news either.

Heck, back in the day, I used to watch these news casts called "Kids'
Beat" on "Superstation" TBS. These news briefings were short in
duration and hosted by a girl named Audrey Lee (who later did TV ads
for National Pride Car Wash).
As for any agenda or bias....I dunno. Maybe Ted Turner was tryin' to
manipulate the malleable minds of America's young through these stories
of children participating in science fairs and the like. Who the hell
knows?

I remember her. She'd always end with "I'm Audra Lee. See you next
time on KIDS BEAT" and she always over-annunciated each syllable...

BBC, CBC, Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana all have their biases, but
they are not the same biases, nor are they the same biases you'll find
in US main stream media.

Then if you want a REALLY different perspective on things, there's
always Brother Stair!

DaviD - and Sirius is not part of the Corporate "Whatever" ?
david, one wonders about 'you'~ RHF
. . . . .

Very interesting. BTW, when I say that RHC doesn't lie, that is in
regards to reporting world news that is easily verified. I'm sure much
of what they say about Cuba is crap.

Oh yeah, here is a good line from the article:

Cuba has one of the most democratic systems
ever. Fidel is up for election every five years, just like
everybody else."
