Did any Americans ever get depressed attempting to respond to and refute Tokyo Rose's broadcasts?

When you realise that the 'main stream media' is literally nothing other than a united propaganda industry - literally, as in cold war Pravda and Izvestia - then you pretty much cease to even pay attention to it, and life becomes much more focused. And peaceful, too.

Be of good cheer, the dinosaur media is so-called for a reason, it's literally dying and drying up. Only a minority of people even pay attention, and an even smaller number of people actually believe their garbage.

But even if the whole world bought into the lies, it wouldn't matter - enemy propaganda is enemy propaganda, not 'news and opinion.'

hmm, struck me as one of the more thoughtful articles coming out of Vox. What are you guys objecting to in it? The stats check. He references several federal reviews. What?

I didn't read it. I don't care what Pravda says, I automatically chunk it in the trashcan of 'mainstream credibility' as a default response to Minitru.

Tokyo Rose died as an American citizen in Chicago Illinois.

Toguri was only one "Tokyo Rose". There were many all known by that moniker.

um, looks like bashing the media when they report an uncomfortable truth to me
