Newsreels from the '30s constitute the bulk of this fascinating documentary, clearly illustrating that the public was fed an extremely biased view of events: straight propaganda, the stricture to provide entertainment, and the attempt to be objective all contributing to this.

The film only indicates this to be the case, but it is precise and coherent enough to make the point with considerable force.
