Together, William Randolph Hearst's newspaper chain, Lord Rothermere's Daily Mail, Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, Robert McCormick's Chicago Tribune, Joe Patterson's New York Daily News, and Cissy Patterson's Washington Times-Herald reached a staggering sixty million people by the late 1930s, and even more during the war that followed. Often dismissed by historians and foreign policy scholars because of their sensationalist, tabloid treatment of the news, these media lords and their newspapers had massive influence on public opinion at a critical time in world history. As Hitler built up his military and invaded his neighbors, these press lords worked together to pressure their governments to dismiss and ignore the fascist threat. They met the greatest crisis of the twentieth century not by urging collective action against tyranny but by spinning conspiracy theories, warning of race suicide, or even embracing fascism. They imagined a white nation and then constructed its enemies-not the Nazis, or even the Japanese, but the "warmongers" among their fellow citizens who wanted to resist rather than appease the aggressors. As they fought against resistance to fascism, they helped lay the foundation for the nationalist, racist, and anti-Semitic Right that we live with today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t Epilogue. $t Good Haters -- $t Celebrity Strongman -- $t World's Greatest Publisher -- $t Ordinary Joe -- $t Empire Crusader -- $t Lady Newspaperman -- $t Undominated -- $t "Hitler Agrees with the Daily Express" -- $t Foreign Wars -- $t Dictator Bill -- $t Which Side Are You On? -- $t Epilogue. 650 0 $a National socialism $x Press coverage $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a National socialism $x Press coverage $z United States. 650 0 $a Political parties $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Press and politics $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Press and politics $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $x Couverture de presse $z Ãtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $x Couverture de presse $z Grande-Bretagne. 650 6 $a Presse $x Histoire $z Ãtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e siècle. 650 6 $a Presse $x Histoire $z Grande-Bretagne $x Histoire $y 20e siècle. 650 7 $a HISTORY / World. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Hitler, Adolf, $d 1889-1945. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00034591 650 7 $a Journalism $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984078 650 7 $a Mass media and war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011378 650 7 $a Press coverage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01198921 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 600 17 $a Hitler, Adolf, $d 1889-1945. $2 nli 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Mass media and the war $2 nli 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Press coverage $z United States $2 nli 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Press coverage $z Great Britain $2 nli 650 7 $a Journalism $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century $2 nli 650 7 $a Journalism $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. $2 nli 651 7 $a Germany $x Press coverage $z United States. $2 nli 651 7 $a Germany $x Press coverage $z Great Britain. $2 nli 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230601010148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A373969E004111EEBB5E2E0C29ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
