Ok, the cartoon about the D-Day Invasion raises a question from me. Of course I wasn't here then but was the Times Terrorist this bad back then as well?

If the Times was this bad in 1944, your post would have been in German.

No. The Chicago Tribune was though. Its publisher, Mr. McCormack, hated FDR. The Tribune ran a story about the battle of Midway that clearly indicated the US had broken the Japanese naval codes. Charges were brought but later dropped. Lucky for us, the Japanese were arrogant and did not believe the story and did not change their codes.

Today's editors are children of the 70s. They believe every war is Vietnam and every Republican president is Nixon. They think they stopped the Vietnam war and brought down Nixon, and are determined to do it again.

Here's a lovely cartoon by Pat Oliphant (another aging child of the 70s) that perfectly captures the attitude:

I don't think they helped their totalitarian heroes on D-Day, but they covered up and lied about Stalin's extermination of 5,000,000+ Ukrainians by famine.

And after charges are filed, chain the doors of the NYT shut. Ah hell, forget the charges, just board the place up.

No, the Times was run by patriotic Americans back then--REAL patriots. Not the kind who snear at us and CLAIM to be patriots. Like the Times and Mike Wallace and Dan Rather and Leslie Butt-the-Rear Stahl.

The point of the cartoon is that IF the Times were then as it is now, they would have announced D-Day.

Closer to 30 million and the NY Times still is proud of the Pulitzer that was awarded for Ukrainian blood.

For a real treat, go to www.marketwatch.com, type NYT in the stock search, and bring up a five year chart. The line goes straight down for the last four years. Most satisfying.

"but they covered up and lied about Stalin's extermination of 5,000,000+ Ukrainians by famine."

And their Walter Duranty shilled for communism and was awarded a Pulitzer prize in the 1930's, which is still proudly displayed at the NYT.

I wasn't there either. But I heard that Gen. Eisenhower briefed the press with restrictions on their publication until after D-Day, and as he left the room they gave him a standing ovation.

Thank you for the correction. From what I have read the famine proper murdered 5-10 million, and direct killing and deportation to death camps does indeed put the figure much higher. I'm no expert on it and am happy to get your input.

Whatever the exact number, it seems to be a genocide worse than the holocaust. I guess the reason we don't hear as much about it is that the Times and their ilk saw Hitler as "right-wing" and Stalin, as a leftist, got a pass. The ends justify the means, apparently, even if the means involve almost unimaginable mass murder and suffering.

At least on one major WWII topic, The New York Times kept mum.

(from a previous post)


The New York Times:
Can't do enough to protect evil terrorists

AND

Didn't seem to do much when innocents were dying by the millions

And yes, there was a Sulzberger at the helm at that time as well.
