Critics of British imperialism argued that it was morally unjust, as it often involved the exploitation and oppression of colonized peoples. They highlighted the destructive impact on local cultures, economies, and societies, arguing that imperialism perpetuated racial hierarchies and denied self-determination. Additionally, some critics pointed to the economic costs and political instability that could arise from maintaining an empire, suggesting that imperialism was ultimately detrimental to both the colonizers and the colonized.

I am not sure what kind of critics you are asking about. There were movie critics, art critics, even radio critics (TV had not yet come onto the scene) and they wrote for the major newspapers and magazines. There were also syndicated columnists who wrote about politics and current events for the newspapers. But in 1939 it is true that people tended to be more trusting of authority figures and more likely to believe what "experts" said. As for what they thought of the critics, we do not have much audience research about it; however, some of the critics were very well-known and their ideas seemed to be respected. Two good examples from the late 1930s were syndicated columnists Walter Lippmann and Dorothy Thompson, who wrote about politics and current events. But it should be noted that "criticism" was often mild back then. It was a more courteous age, so some of the reviews of movies or radio shows would not have been as scathing or sarcastic as what we see today.
