While watching The Man I Married (1940 – note the date) I could not help but take note of a short monologue in which a German notes that the German government is selling radios, not yet a commodity, very cheaply, yes, very cheaply indeed – but “you can’t tune in Moscow or Paris or London …” and then notes why would a loyal German want to hear anything from anywhere but good German newspapers?
Single sourcing of news, sounds familiar to me. Does it to you?
