Absurd stretch trying to tie Hitler’s looting of the jews to the Hearst art collection to Thomas. Hearst, Henry Ford, Joe Kennedy, and the rest are long gone.
Helen’s own jew hatred and how it has flavored her reporting the last ten years is the story. Anything else is just a distraction in her favor.
Hearst’s collaboration with Nazis and Hitler is not a distraction in Helen’s favor. It is an insight into why Hearst will not fire Helen. Nazi collaboration apologism is in the DNA of the corporation. It’s a shame you’re trying to pretend it didn’t happen.
