The Old Tone
Listen.
This is a 2-minute segment from the end of Fibber's radio program, NBC's top-rated comedy, marking V-E day in May of 1945. Note the explicit Christianity; note the appeal to continue our efforts until the whole thing is done; note the mention of Gold-Star mothers. At that point, it looked like we might need one or two more years to finish off Japan. Luckily, the miracle of fission shortened that time.
Now compare with any 2 minutes of today's enemy-occupied media, lionizing traitors, weakening our morale, and turning Gold Star Mothers into a vicious mocking slander.
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.
