#bookstodon #amreading Olmsted’s ”The Newspaper Axis: Six Press Barons Who Enabled Hitler.”
This story from the 1920’s to 1930’s tells of how in both UK & US, the largest #press outlets - all conservative and/or populist - regularly lied and published fake news with the aim of appeasing the #Nazis, downplaying their crimes and urged not confronting them because it would put the empire at risk.
