Didn't have enough room or I would have included a few more international choices. I left off MSNBC too!

If I have to get news from television, Jon is the only one I trust!

6. Internet sources AND shortwave radio

7. Did you know that BBC sold all its NA frequencies to Radio Netherlands.

That's why you hear so much Radio Netherlands these days.

BBC did that because they didn't want to give away for free the programming that they license to NPR, and which makes them so much money.

8. What do you think of Radio Netherlands?

15. I like it. I think it's better than BBC in some respects...

because BBC spends so much time advertising the Premier League and cricket.

In place of the sprots talk, Radio Netherlands will actually do extended interviews with people on interesting policy issues.

RN may not have as many reporters all over the world right now as BBC has. But I learn more about how the world works by listening to a local Dutch story in depth than I do by hearing an extended report on Nasser Hussein's trials and tribulatioins on the pitch.

[Q]

9. Free Speech TV and World Link...

...I'm surprised they're not on your list.

10. None - IMO, only fools consider

TV and radio to be a source of anything other than info about what the mindless masses are being exposed to.

11. BBC and The Daily Show

The BBC is pretty reliable, they don't sanitize the news. When the war in Iraq started, they showed the suffering of the Iraqi people-their injuries, their destroyed homes, etc. Not everyone, including me, wants to see that misery, but it is what's real. It was kind of funny last night, because their lead story wasn't the California recall.

[not systems]

12. KPFA and KALW

The Pacifica station and SF NPR station with much BBC.

13. The following phrase is an oxymoron: "TV/Radio News Source"

Don't watch TV "news" or listen to radio "news." I get my news from print or online.

14. Reuters is pretty good

we use their finance sections and when I have time I check the news. Nice counterbalance to Bloomberg, whose screens are a necessary part of the banking world.

on edit: They aren't TV /radio. But who gets their news from THERE?
Oh yeah. 75% of the voting public.

[AP]

16. Oops, looks like the limbots are showing up.

Quick, someone aske them if they think we found weapons of mass destruction and a connection between OBL and SH. This should be funny...

Oh yeah, ask them if the world is round and if night follows day.

This should be good.

17. Democracy Now! (radio)

Amy Goodman fightin' the good fight!
