Episode 398: Hollywood and the Government
02/23/24 • 65 min
Right around 1915, the folks in Hollywood began working with the government to get the United States Citizens, ready to go to war. This endeavor continued during World War II. The military found recruitment improved when people were shown war movies. At some point, the people in Hollywood began disguising truth with fiction. Putting out secret projects as fiction so people would get the two confused. This is a confusing mess we live in today.
