I can't believe this is happening. Who, actually, is leading the charge and how do they have this kind of clout?

I never thought we would see this either. The Ukrainian Weekly (a tiny paper in NJ) called the Pulitzer committee the end of May and asked if Duranty's Pulitzer was under investigation. Their article was posted on FR June 1st. Worldnetdaily and Newsmax soon followed up. Then the New York Sun and last night the AP carried the story. Went international last night.

All of this was prompted by Ukrainian groups noting the 70th anniversary of the genocide.

Harold Denny, who succeeded Duranty in the Times Moscow bureau, should be next on the hit list. Then there is Herbert Matthews and his dispatches from Cuba...then Anthony Lewis and Sydney Schanberg for their support of Pol Pot... then....then....

Anyone know if The Nation has apologized for its reporting on the Holodomor? Louis Fischer was even worse than Duranty.
