Heh, Orson Wells said clearly at the start of the broadcast that it was “fake news”.
The MSM in modern times somehow neglects to state the same before their broadcasts.
When (if) you listen to The Untold Story, you’ll understand who the American people were then and what they were doing .... almost all tuned in after the intro and began well into “the invasion” ....... they didn’t know it was a program.
One shouldn’t miss Welles apology press conference afterwards in which he cannot suppress a smirk at the stupidity of people who bought into a radio show about martians. Hilarious.
