Show RADIO TROUBLE It must be obvious to owners of radio sets around Milford and in every nook and comer of this nation for that matter, j that radio is going to come in for a period of outside investigation investi-gation and inquiry every so often. There is too prominent a position occupied by radio in its effect on public opinion for it to be disregarded, and the fact is there have already been numerous instances of examinations of this nature. But radio seems to be bringing on its own trouble. A great many programs pro-grams are too stupid to be appreciated by the average intelligent intelli-gent listener. There is too much advertising and far too much of it is misleading and harmful. The majority of complaints com-plaints are reported to come from distraught persons, largely large-ly parents, who have been pestered to death to buy certain brands of breakfast foods by their children who listen to blood and thunder programs appealing to the young. Radio has too many good things to offer the public to allow itselt to cause a disturbance and invoke censure for its too ordinary ordi-nary types of entertainment. n |
