 Yeah, radio was highly influential in WWI...

True ideas or good habits?
'MAD' is an abbreviation for 'the people
of the world are insane'?
For WWII it was not TV, there was only
a little bit of that before then.
I guess 'fiction' often means 'not true'
regardless of if it might be thought of
as entertaining or not entertaining.
I guess books, magazines, and newspapers
can transmit false and destructive information
just like everything else.  Yes the radio was
not in widespread use during WWI.
