<<Other papers did the same>> Owning the media comes with responsibilities I guess. There is only so much bad news you can print before things get counter productive to the business, or even morale etc. There is also the need to make sure what you print will be approved by those who are in power. The most ludicrous situations can occur for appearances sake, while the reality is made worse. The development of the proximity fuse for shells during WW2 was a success, most important during the Pacific campaign, but early on during the war, anti aircraft shells were a different story in the UK. The loss of reliable fuse timing mechanisms caused havoc. Never saw the figures, but we can guess why. The narrator does say a number of the incidences were published in the press though.
