And in the “Some Things Never Change” department, note Churchill’s August 23 missive to the Minister of Information, complaining about the lack of coverage of the Soviet perfidy in sitting around and allowing the Polish patriots to get slaughtered by the Nazi’s in the Warsaw uprising.

I don’t think the MSM of that time was as bad as the lickspittles we have today, but it seems clear they were quite willing to cover for the commies when needs be: the sins of omission we routinely experience in the news coverage today apparently started a long, long time ago.
