Anti-semitism[edit]

Is there a reason that Coughlin’s anti-Semitic stance is left out of the introduction? Sarahefrancis (talk) 17:47, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's right there: "After hinting at attacks on Jewish bankers, Coughlin began to use his radio program to broadcast antisemitic commentary. In the late 1930s, he supported some of the fascist policies of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito of Japan..."--Pondarosaka (talk) 15:02, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The opening sentence (about Norman Lear's much later recollection) seems oddly placed. I don't say it's unimportant. It just doesn't function well as the transition or lead into a new topic. Seems more like a supporting or interesting detail. I'm new to this article so didn't make the edit unilaterally; I only came to read it, as I read something elsewhere about Father Coughlin.
