Oh, there was no need for Hitler to buy time. Plenty of stations aired Father Coughlin and similar anti-semitic Nazi apologists with no financial incentive from Germany at all. Don't forget that most Americans wanted to stay completely out of the war until Pearl Harbor was bombed. Nothing prior to that -- the beginnings of the Holocaust, the invasion of Poland, the pounding of England -- was considered sufficient reason to get involved.

That's a good point, and it's often forgotten that the American ambassador to England was not only opposed to the US entering the war, he had to be removed from his post for some things he said around the time of the Battle of Britain.

It's interesting that the mood created by some of those commentators did not permanently affect the American psyche.
