Actually this shows a pattern from the NYT, Didn't they also cover up the Stalin purges of the Kulaks in the 20's and 30's and the Rwanda problems in the nineties.

Do you see a pattern here.

Yep, continuing right up to the present day... Sudanese genocide news, back pages, obscuring the Islamic character of it in every story. Covering up for despotic regimes the world 'round, that should be the new slogan for the NY Times.

Yes, they did cover up those purges. The specific reporters name was Walter Duranty; he hailed the success of Stalin's collective agriculture in the Ukraine while the people there starved from a man-made famine. Kulaks was a name given to private farmers who'd been modestly successful. Stalin simply called all who disagreed with collectivism Kulaks. Also, he meant to suppress Ukrainian nationalism. This is one of the great untold stories of Soviet history, at least not told well to the general public. It's almost as poorly known as Operation Keel Haul where US and UK forces delivered hundreds of thousands of captured Russian prisoners after WW II to Stalin against the wishes of the prisoners. These prisoners were often shot within hearing distance of the US and UK forces who delivered them. Others went to the Gulag. Few survived.

The only genocide NYT will write about is FAKE GENOCIDE, as demonstrated by numerous NYT articles about Bosnia and Kosovo 'genoicides'.

The real genocides such as Ukraine, The Holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda were downplayed while they happened.

Duranty, I think, was the man............

ctually this shows a pattern from the NYT, Didn't they also cover up the Stalin purges of the Kulaks in the 20's and 30's and the Rwanda problems in the nineties.

And the Silent American Holocaust as well.
