4. bbc does a really good job of reporting on the US . the Russian coverage has been

especially good.

they also just tell it like it is. no need to do the "both sides" bs. no need to normalize the jackoff .

9. Used to listen to the BBC world service on shortwave

Found out about lots of stuff the networks did not think important.
Found then unbiased and always honest...
Not a propaganda arm like radio free Europe

15. You can listen to the BBC on the internet or read the news.

The BBC does have their peculiar biases, mostly concerning British high finance, but it's not nearly so wretched as NPR's groveling before their corporate and foundation sponsors.

Deutsche Welle, the German international broadcaster, is pretty good too.

22. ehe :) A different era, a different presentation style.

When Shortwave (or mediumwave aka AM) was the way to listen to World Service, and there was a lot more variety.

If you want a blast from the past.... https://audioboom.com/posts/686744-bbc-world-service-1980 - not complete programmes I'm afraid but certainly a nice bit of nostalgia.

I didn't have much exposure to the World Service - as I was fully indoctrinated by the domestic services.

Did a little search and found this gem: a BBC One programme uploaded to YouTube about the history of the World Service:

#1 Worldwide in the 1980s, still #1 in 2017.

11. Now there is company to be proud of.

It's kind of like being banned from meetings of the Westboro Baptist Church, ISIS, the Taliban, CPAC and the KKK--more an honor than a form of punishment.

16. Countries that have censored the BBC...

Russia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, People's Republic of China... North Korea... There's more.

So far the USA isn't on the censorship list. The UK has censored the BBC in wartime, mainly WW2... but a bit in the Falkland Islands / Malvinas conflict with Argentina but this was internal direct censorship. Usually it's the BBC itself that is accused of censorship, mainly because for years it was the only radio broadcaster.

24. Every body was censored during WWII

Thanks to Donnie, Li'l Kim no longer has the most ridiculous hair of any world leader.
