Subject: Propaganda during the war
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
I know that, especially during WW I & II, there were people spouting
their individual factions propaganda over the airwaves. As far as I know
(and have been told) there were only only two people doing this: one of them
was Tokyo Rose (for the Japanese) and the other was Axis Sally. Somehow,
I think there were more propagandists than just these two. If so, who were
they?
Did we (the Allies) have our own version of a propagandist who stood for the
US during the war?
As always,
Kenneth Clarke

All this talk about Fibber Mcgees name reminded me of the episode where they
learned that the neighbor girl teeny, (voiced by Molly) was named teeny which
was short for Martini, because her father said she never was dry enough!
