| مستخلص: |
Americans wrote more than 1600 letters to the Federal Communications Commission regarding Father Charles Coughlin, the notoriously anti-Semitic 'Radio Priest' of the 1930s, over the course of about ten years. The FCC received the vast majority of these letters in 1938 and 1939 not only after a particularly controversial speech broadcast in November 1938 but also amid the ensuing backlash. These letters to the FCC serve as a case study of how Americans used the Coughlin controversy to articulate their views about their rights as Americans and about what should be permitted over the airwaves, and to argue that radio as a medium presented a unique potential for danger.
