Listening To War Propaganda Can Really, Really Cost You Money

Alt-headline was going to be "By George I Think She's Got It!" But the lady in question is not Eliza Doolittle and her speech is a damn sight closer to received pronunciation than it is to Cockney.

The reality is that in the "old days" information dispersal during wartime could be segmented. So you could read the FT for the true picture and then popular press would be white propaganda for morale reasons. These days that's much more difficult.
