Abstract

Propaganda's Golden Age
Lerner, Max | November 4, 1939 issue

add to cart   close window

This article discusses the impact of Second World War on economic conditions in the U.S. Budgets are being cut, taxes eased for big enterprise, labor-protective legislation repealed, new labor-smashing laws introduced, strikes met with repression, educational expenditures whittled away and alien-baiting and red-baiting measures are being passed. The newspaper industry is one of the outstanding samples of the crowding out of the relatively free small enterprise by the big capital. It is idle to talk any longer of "freedom" of press and opinion as though it were synonymous with the absence of governmental intervention of any sort.
