If you haven?t been reading the papers lately, you may have missed that the The New York Times brass is making it known that they are upset and worried about Stalinist practices and the airbrushing of history.

This piece of information might come as a welcome surprise to many readers who have observed the Times?s history of turning a blind eye to the cruel abuses of Stalin?s regime...So, does the fact that the Times higher-ups are now getting quoted fretting over Stalinist procedures mean that they have finally seen the light? (Dramatic pause) Come on, folks! This is the New York Times we?re talking about. ...

Amazing is it not that the NYT wants to keep honoring a man who covered up genocide.

Not surprisingly, the NYT purposely makes a comparison they know to be false; ie removing Duranty's award would be tantamount to erasing him from history. If anything, being the only man to have lost such an award would make his crime all the more known.

One wonders too, was firing Blair for his simply shoddy reporting, Stalinist airbrushing to the NYT?

That the NYT is pro-comminist and pro-Stalinist is true and that truth is easily confirmable.

The NYT will print ANY story, usually on it's front page, that comments favorably about the losers or unfavorably about the winners of the Spanish Civil War.

Come up with anything about the communists in America's Lincoln Brigade that fought in Spain that glorifies their motivation but hides the facts that they murdered more Spanish anti-Stalinists than they killed Germans or Franco's people, and it will get printed in the NYT.

You might also check (if the micro-film copies have not already been "misplaced") the position of the NYT and it's editorials as Hitler became Stalin's buddy and Stalin ordered his propaganda machine to back off Hitler and take on the anti-Hitler attacks. My bet (I've never checked) is that the NYT editors did exactly as they were told to do by their Stalinist masters.

"I, Rigoberta Menchu, Liar"

I think that is the person you are talking about.
And that was the title of the cover story on her and a lot other lyin' lefties from
the "American Enterprise" magazine four or five years ago.

i beleive that you are correct

I don't understand the movement to yank this prize. The Stalinist NYT and the Leninist Pullitzer prize deserve each other and should remain linked forever.

This is huge. The NYT will fight this tooth and nail.

Should the rag be exposed as the Marxist propaganda mill that it is, the floodgates open. Dozens, perhaps hundreds of agitprop scribblers, will be exposed as carrying water and spreading black propaganda for the fascists and communists.

This could hit a 9 on the Peter Arnett Credibility Richter scale, completely destroying the rags believability.
