This story got legs when Andrew Nynka, an editor at The Ukrainian Weekly, called an an administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes on May 20th and asked if they were considering revoking Duranty's Pulitzer. Nynka's article was posted on FR here. Shortly after, the story was picked up by Newsmax, Worldnet Daily, The New York Sun and, a few days ago, AP.

Nynka was a Washington D.C. advisor to Gov. George E. Pataki.

I suspect he and others at his paper would be interested in the LA Time's view of the campaign to pull the prize from Duranty. I've emailed but haven't heard back yet. If you wish to contact the paper, here is how:

This is kind of discouraging....I thought we had only to clean up the Clintons' eight-year mess. The Duranty atrocity goes back to the beginning of time.

Of course a people is sensitive when genocide practiced against it is ignored. I'm Irish, and I see the sensitivity among my own people for what Cromwell did some 350 years ago. The Jews are obviously sensitive about what happened 60 years ago. So are the Armenians, about what happened 90 years ago. Why shouldn't the Ukrainians have a right to feel similarly, about what happened 70 years ago?

This is a good thing. For far too long the NYT has been able to dominate discourse in order to spin a warped version of reality.

Sooner or later the machinations of the NYT's owners and other like minded culprits will be revealed.
