But yet they're still calling that propaganda piece a "documentary". It's
as much a "documentary" as, say, "War of the Worlds."

Some Americans thought War of the Worlds was.

However, on this particular evening they were shocked to hear another
station carrying news alerts warning of an invasion of Martians
attacking Earth. Not hearing the introduction of the play and
listening to the authoritative and real sounding commentary and
interviews, many believed it to be real.

All across the United States, listeners reacted. Thousands of people
called radio stations, police and newspapers. Many in the New England
area loaded up their cars and fled their homes. In other areas, people
went to churches to pray. People improvised gas masks. Miscarriages
and early births were reported. Deaths, too, were reported but never
confirmed. Many people were hysterical. They thought the end was near.
