I don't know about that. Check out some of my posts about the Spanish Civil War. A Times reporter named Herbert Matthews was a big cheerleader for the Loyalist (Soviet sponsored side.) He later performed the same service for the Castro revolution in Cuba.

You ever heard of Walter Duranty?

Odd comment, considering the masterful job Walter Duranty did in covering up Stalin's atrocities.
