The New York Times has been printing outright lies for generations.

In the 1930's, Stalin was engaged in deliberately starving the Ukraine. Millions died there from hunger after Stalin's troops confiscated all the grain for export.

Times reporter Walter Duranty went thru the Ukraine, and reported back that their was no famine. He lied thru his teeth in order to preserve his "access" to Stalin. Duranty's lies earned him a Pulitzer Prize.
