Though not very accurate in spots:

"This is why Orwell believed it was absurd to pillory Wodehouse for
the mildly treacherous radio broadcasts he made while interned by the
Nazis during the second world war."

The broadcasts were not treacherous, even mildly so.

Yes, quite right.

I agree, though I wonder perhaps if this being an english newspaper,
it might have a slightly different perspective.
