In Hitler's Germany, it was against the law to listen to a foreign broadcast. In an alliance between government and industry, they sold cheap "people's radios" to the masses which could only receive the local propaganda stations (the Volksempfanger).

Hmm... an alliance between government and industry..sounds eerily familiar to BamBams reliationship with the UAW. I’d be worried if I thought the UAW could actual produce any piece of machinery worth a s***. And at the cost of union labor none of the masses would be able to afford it anyways.
