An amusing piece by Walter Duranty, wherein he demonstrates his own misinformation, confusion, disorientation if not outright discombobulation in being unable to comprehend that ALL Soviet "reporters" were simply mouthpieces for good old Uncle Joe Stalin.
Soviet reporters were not "misinformed." They were simply "reporting" what they were told to report.
Can we even believe that Walter Duranty didn't understand that?
Maybe he was to busy being the smartest guy in Riga.
Pravda's article shows once more how profoundly Soviet journalists - who once claimed to know and even represented, in some measure, the mass opinion of foreign countries - have lost touch with that opinion and failed to understand it.
