Like so many others, especially foreigners, I have become so terribly disappointed in how America and Britain, supposed leaders of freedoms and self-criticism and debate, had become so ‘propagandic’ recently as in the latest Iraq issue. So disappointed, shocked even. Our news media has apparently sold itself out either to towing the gov’t line or Entertainment Tonight-like sensationalism.

And yet sometimes you hear how Allied servicemen actually fell in love with Tokyo Rose, Japan’s propaganda tool, and listened to her all the time with apparent disregard for the intended demoralising effort.

I remember playing hockey against former Soviet block kids and my students who immigrated from countries like Iran who talked about how popular BBC has been evern since ww2 and would listen.

Interesting topic.
Good thing Goebbels didn’t try to produce a film strip with him dancing to this music given his ‘master-race’ handicaps lol.

I seem to remember a photo way back in the 70s, I may be wrong, showing Hitler enjoying the Paris night-life with a black stripper even.
If I really did see such a pic, I suppose it was probably a fake.
But sure would be even more ironic wouldn’t it?

Love the movie ‘Wag the Dog’ ? is that the correct title?
