Power Play Foiled: Utilities’ Propaganda Machine Shut Down

January 25, 1929 – In a stunning turn of events, the Joint Committee of National Utilities Associations has effectively silenced its propaganda machine, a move that has sent shockwaves through the power industry. According to Judge Stephen B. Davis, director of the Federal Trade Commission’s utilities investigation, the committee has decided to devote its future publicity efforts to supporting the commission’s inquiry. This strategic shift comes after a long history of using propaganda to sway public opinion and shape the narrative around the industry’s activities.
