They have radio, television, and newspapers. In times of stress and confusion, 3 , rumor emerges and becomes widespread. At such 4 the different kinds of news are in competition, the press, television, and radio versus the grapevine. Especially 5  rumors spread when war requires censorship（审查，检查） on many important matters. The customary news sources no longer give out enough information.
