Not everything said in the tumult of the Russian Revolution was actually true. Like many upper class Britons of his day, Wilton did not like and Jews. He sought out sources who shared his prejudices.

Robert Wilton
Robert Archibald Wilton (31 July 1868 – 18 or 19 January 1925) was a British journalist.
Wilton, who was born in Cringleford, Norfolk, was the son of a British mining engineer employed in Russia. In 1889 he joined the European staff of the New York Herald, remaining with that newspaper for fourteen years, and corresponding on both Russian and German affairs. He then took up an appointment as The Times correspondent in St Petersburg, and became known as a keen observer of events in Russia during the last years of the Tsarist regime. After the Revolution, he moved to Siberia. Following the collapse of the Kolchak government, Wilton managed to escape from Russia and eventually arrived in Paris where, in 1920, he rejoined the New York Herald. In 1924 he joined the staff of a newly founded newspaper, the Paris Times (which published in English). He died from cancer at the Hertford British Hospital in Paris early in 1925.[1]
Wilton served with the Russian army during the First World War, and was awarded the Cross of St George.[2]
He was the author of two books: Russia’s Agony (published by Edward Arnold, London, 1918) and The Last Days of the Romanovs (1920).
