Biased Language[edit]

I wonder about the use of the term "Nazi propaganda" in the first paragraph. I noticed that the work of Thomas Mann for the Allies is not called Allied propaganda, or American propaganda.

This is how Thomas Mann's work for the Allies is described on English-language Wikipedia: "During the war, Mann made a series of anti-Nazi radio-speeches, Deutsche Hörer! ("German listeners!"). They were taped in the USA and then sent to Great Britain, where the BBC transmitted them, hoping to reach German listeners."

So, why is it that Mann's work does not get the derogatory label "propaganda" but Day's work does? Is it because of which sides they took? That seems the most obvious explanation. Yet on Wikipedia there is the ideal of overcoming such bias. Is there not? Your Buddy Fred Lewis (talk) 13:20, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Point well taken. I've rewritten the summary. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 21:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

World War I service[edit]

Although Day served in the United States Navy during World War I era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served overseas during the war. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of World War I was removed from the article. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 23:08, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
