Radios can be used for the direct and unabashed manufacture of public opinion. Having established themselves as entertainment, they can pass smoothly and almost imperceptibly into a propaganda and by means of carefully edited news and carefully contrived talks can do more than any other known agency to convey palatable doses of truth or of untruth to the public.
