As bad as Blair and Mapes were they don't hold a candle to Duranty. It's outrageous that the New York Times still hangs on to his Pulitzer.

Oh, I dunno. To borrow from a FReeper above, what Duranty did wasn't a felony, and Mapes was guilty of more than just the forgeries, but of seeking though fraud to throw an election. On the opther hand, Duranty did cover up about 50 million murders, give or take a mil. In any event, Mapes and Duranty are clearly devils of the first magnitude.

As bad as what Mapes did was I still think being a Stalin apologist is worse.
