That should be the real motto of The New York Times. Blogger and writer Roger L. Simon, founder of center-right Pajamas Media, sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in 20th century history, and how it was distorted by Stalin apologist Walter Duranty, The Times' top foreign corrrespondent circa 1932.
Sadly, not much has changed at The Gray Lady. To this day the newspaper refuses to consider returning the Pulitzer awarded to Duranty in 1932, even though his lies and falsehoods in downplaying the Stalin-induced Ukranian famine of the 1930s are widely acknowledged. If the "paper of record" one day falls under the weight of its accumulated breaches of journalistic integrity and agenda-driven reporting, the Sulzberger-Ochs family will have no one to blame but themselves.
Take 6 minutes and view Roger's second installment of "Burning down The New York Times." (think Jayson Blair).
