I assume the big questions asked are:
“Are more German Civilians dying than American Civilians - is death equality an issue?”
Children of SS officer's are traumatized by bombs exploding in Germany - How does the President respond?
On the Japanese front:
Is this war really just a cover for White Men to express prejudice against people of color?

I remember back in the 50s watching “Doublas Edwards” and the news on Channel 9, Dothan, Alabama. There was 15 minutes of national news then the local station put on 15 more minutes.
15 minutes is more than enough time if all you do is report the news.
They went on to 30 minutes and Walter Cronkite so they could have time to spread their deceit.
