What does "the war of the world’s radio broadcast" mean?

-
On October 30, 1938, Orson Welles broadcast a condensed version of the War of the Worlds over the radio without disclosing that it was based on H.G. Wells 1898 book of the same title. The listening audience thought it was a live broadcast and panicked thinking that Earth was actually being invaded by Martians. Orson Welles tried to explain that it was all a big hoax the next day. I hope that helps.

It was the first example of how major media
could cause mass hysteria with fake news, although it was made clear that it was a dramatization. It’s of like what’s going on now with fake news!

On Halloween 1938, Orson Well’,s Mercury Theater of the Air did a broadcast of the HG Wells story, War of the Worlds. They did it as a dance music broadcast that gets interrupted by the news bulletin of an invasion from Mars. It was so realistic that many people thought it was a real broadcast. It caused quite a panic.

It was a radio show based on the book “war of the worlds” by H G Wells.

It was an American broadcast based on an Orsen Welle script about an alien invasion of the earth. There was panic in the streets as people believed the drama to be true.

It refers to the 1938 radio broadcast made by Orson Welles of “War of the Worlds”

Yes. Far right politician Jacob Rees Mogg is a minister in Boris Johnson’s government. His smooth and smothering tones conceal his contempt of UK parliamentary process and democracy. His suits and speech suggest who merely views parliamentary a stage for his political costume drama for his own wealthy indulgence. Mr Jacob Rees Mogg advocates the UK’s most abrupt and immediate exit from the single market and customs union. He wants fewer new foreign arrivals. His government supports the economic partition of the UK, with the implementation of the Northern Ireland protocol. In 2013, Mr Rees Mogg dined at event organised by the far right  Traditional Britain Group . In 2017, he met far right US political campaigner Steve Bannon. In April 2019, he used social media to distribute a video by the far right Alternative für Deutschland political party. In Autumn 2019, Mr Rees Mogg wanted to shut down parliament for 5 weeks. At speed, he visited the Queen at Balmoral about this matter, expla...

Even during a pandemic, how does the dollar dominate other currencies?

Dollar will grow in value specially in stress. When businesses are doing great in the rest of the world the money follows. When it's gloomy else where the money goes back to USD. Right now, you don't want to stay invested in equities, do you. Do you find debt safe? No. Are you happy with keeping your money in banks? I don't think so. The safest asset class is Government Securities in India. They will give you a return of 6.2%. But can you really trust the government of India when it has stopped getting Rs 1 lakh crores from GST every month? There is one supreme asset class and that is US Government Sovereign Bonds. They currently give you a return of 0.64%. This is why USD is so much in demand.
