Fake News NYT Reporter Walter Duranty to Appear in Two Major Films

Long before the fake news reports by such fake news New York Times reporters as Jayson Blair and Herbert Matthews, there was fake news reporter Walter Duranty who wrote fake news stories for the same newspaper about Joseph Stalin's systematic 1932/33 starvation of Ukrainian peasants...the Holodomor. Although Duranty has been written about in the past, movie audiences will soon see him portrayed on the big screen in two major motion pictures.

The first of these movies  is "Bitter Harvest," which focuses on the Holodomor itself, opens in movie theaters on February 24. Here is a trailer.

This first movie, "Bitter Harvest," looks VERY INTERESTING even though Duranty might be a very minor character in it. I like historical movies.

[Terry L Smith]

Hollywood doesn’t need my money.

No thanks.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

[PJ-Comix]

Not exactly Hollywood. “Bitter Harvest” produced by Ukrainian-Canadians and the Gareth Jones movie is most definitely NOT a Hollywood production.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Historical movies tend to be extremely limited in their historical accuracy. “The Black Book of Communism” is very comprehensive about it, and has no other agenda or story line than just recounting the almost endless atrocities.

Why even use the word “fake”? “NYT Reporter” is sufficient.

And his Pulitzer has never been revoked to this day.

Russian and Kazakh peasants hit by Stalin’s man-made famine, too—not just Ukrainians!!!!

The second movie looks interesting, too. I barely remember Gareth Jones even though I read "The Harvest of Sorrow" decades ago. Malcolm McCridge (sp) also tried to tell the truth about the famine, but to no avail. Thanks to Walter Duranty's lies, Pres. Roosevelt recognized the Soviet Union when he took office. Documentary on the Holdomar

The late Bob Grant used to mention this frequently.

One of the reasons the USSR lost 20 million men in WWII was that there were “Soviets” fighting on both sides. Many minorities (including Ukrainians) were quite content to fight against Stalin. The Russian government admitted within the last few years that they sent agents behind Axis lines to kill Germans in order to spur reprisals (to turn the friendly people against the Germans).

For all of those just born yesterday, The Old Grey Whore has been fawning over leftist dictators since the history of leftists dictators began, and as the Pulitzer Prize to Mr. Duranty makes clear, #FakeNews isn't something that's all that new to The New York Times.

I predict the next big journo award will go to the ace reporter who interviews a handful of third wave feminists in the braindead Swedish government, and comes back with a series of stories, à la Walter Duranty, that "there is no rape crisis in Sweden."

[Proyecto Anonimo]

FDR sponsored Uncle Joe Stalin & USSR into the League of Nations one year after Stalin massacred and starved 11 million in 14 months. One year after FDR confiscated gold in the USA.

Wonder if that FDR “trivia” will make the movie. If 11 million dying is trivial. /s

By the way... Holomodor is still not taught to children in the USA. In 1989, when the USSR broke up, the Ukrainians had a story to tell for the rest of the world that had never been told.
