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.

P.S. I think it's great, that the Times still holds on to its Pulitzer. That helps make it easier for the Times' critics to clarify things for the uninitiated.

Please see #38.

Agreed...though I think that Mapes is worse than Blair and closer to Duranty.

Not coming clean about a crime, a lie of that magnitude, working to cover it up and perpetuate the deception long after the truth has come out, is certainly a sign of a soul-sickness that runs deep and wide. Such people can never, ever, be trusted to tell the truth about anything.
