Yay, Dorothy Thompson!

"Dorothy Thompson: First American to interview Adolf Hitler"

Didn't expect to see her in this:

"Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Caroline Fraser"

And I didn't know that so many small town conservatives thought FDR was not all that different from Hitler. But they didn't have as much access to information back then as we have now, did they?

"Who Goes Nazi?" by Dorothy Thompson

How much does access to more information matter to people nowadays? Does it help? It's actually pretty overwhelming, huh? Makes them dig in their heels harder.
