Neat that two weeks ago, Duranty was not even mentioned and now he is front and center. Most Americans of that era who know of him believe he was a great man.

My mom is 85. She reregistered as a Republican when she was 78 (Clinton did that) and I had to tell her Duranty was not the person she thought he was. She is so mad at the BS she was sold, she may live for ever. Or at least until there are no more members of her former party alive.

Never fear, Joe is finally smiling and has stopped whirling as much. :-)

Snowballs and ice skating in HELL ? I'm delighted ... tickled pink !

Hurrah for your mother. It's NEVER too late, apparently. :-)

Poor, poor NYT. Caught in the unfortunate media spotlight, shining with laser like brightness in all the dark corners previously hidden from ordinary mortals.

They asked for 'tips' and guess what...they got 'em'. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. Only problem is, as you've been pointing out for several weeks, they did a lot of damage through the years ... with no accountability.

Congrats to your Mom. Maybe a little encouragement from her son? LOL.

A couple of weeks ago there were only a handful of us on FR who knew about this farce of a Pulitizer by a liar working for the communist infected NY Slimes in the 1930's.

Now, reality is finally getting traction after 7 decades.

Hopefully the lies about Iraq and President Bush and ignoring the mass murder of 6 million innocent Iraqis by $oddomite and his thugs will not take 70 years for the replay of reality.

Now there's a comforting thought.
