I suspect The National Midnight Star is a propaganda publication. That seems to be the theme of this song as I see it. To be more specific, I think the theme of this song is the influence of propaganda on public opinion and the resulting adverse effects on society. "truth is often bitter left unsaid" is a great play on words that I have always loved.
