The Racist New York Times wouldn’t even return Stalin Apoligist Walter Duranty’s pullitzer.
That tells you all you need to know about that old gray hag.
“In 1931, The New York Times published 13 articles by its Moscow reporter and Communist sympathizer, Walter Duranty, praising the Soviet Union and dictator Joseph Stalin’s government.”
Since the media doesn’t consider it significant, it’s left to me to state what happened because of these reports:
First, remember there was no TV, probably no radio, and few other news outlets - back then, our half of the country was stuck with the NY Times pretty much. So, given that, and the Great Depression, well over 1000 Americans, many with wives and kids, went to Stalin’s ‘wonderful’ Soviet Union for a better life.
Two of them made it back to the US. The rest were dead by 1940.
