Yup! And they should know...Radio Liberty have been experts at it for as long as I can remember... See url: http://www.rferl.mobi/ For Voice of America see url: http://www.voanews.com/ You get the truth, the absolute truth and nuffink but the whole truth there. Up to the minute stuff too... :-). Radio Moscow is still up and running, changed a lot since I used to listen to it. I loved the tune "Moscow Nights", which will be forever melded in my brain. Learned all about Communism under Gorbachev, Perestroika and all that stuff. All those medals he had and what they were for. A bit of culture, different nationalities and habits and customs. How well people were treated and how the Jews had their own homeland, which was unfortunately the last bit of land left over, after the revolution; when everyone else had been looked after... http://radiomoscow.net/ The World Service of the BBC is very independent of the UK government. It was operated and funded by the Foreign Office. Nowadays, it is funded by the BBC license taxpayer, but still controlled by the Foreign Office. Why should the state fund it when license payers can do a better job? It is very good, it spreads the word about how wonderful the UK is to live in, how we have freedom and prosperity and liberty and how all the Russians should leave Russia and come and live here and enjoy the benefits of democratic capitalism, our wonderful education system and our National Health Service and universal benefits system. See url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldserviceradio I listen to it a lot at night. There are a lot of international stories too, usually done in quarter of an hour. A bit of national music, a bit of the local language during the interview and a wee story about the person, country or situation. It is a good way for an active mind to get off to sleep... :-). When it comes to the crunch of course, we don't like immigration, make it difficult for them to settle here. We just like foreign citizens to hate their governments and bring down the ones our ruling establishment doesn't like... :-). We have been cutting back the funding of late, covering less countries, concentrating on areas of strife and conflict where we can give a helping hand... :-). There's a rough guide on world radio stations and what they are for and what they do at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_propaganda And for a potted history, see url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_propaganda Radio isn't as powerful as it was, other media supplement or take over from it, like Face book etc...as you have noticed... :-).
