# "Judging the News" — February 24, 1932 This page features editorial commentary and cartoons satirizing current events. The bottom cartoon, captioned "And remember, folks, this war comes to you through the courtesy of Goodie Gumdrops," appears to mock media coverage of the ongoing conflict in the Far East (likely the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, 1931-32). The image shows what appears to be a radio broadcaster or commentator presenting warfare as entertainment, suggesting the satire criticizes how American media sensationalizes distant military conflicts for commercial purposes. The "Goodie Gumdrops" reference likely parodies actual sponsor names of radio programs, implying corporate interests profit from war coverage. The top cartoon shows five figures labeled with letters (likely representing newspaper editors or commentators), reinforcing the issue's focus on media criticism and editorial judgment.
