Several things are left out of this article. For one thing, as those who knew and worked with "Fighting Bob" would tell you, he was staunchly anti-communist. He considered them the enemy as much as he did too powerful crony capitalists

Another point should be made about Lincoln Steffens, upon whom the articles spends so much ink. While the muckraking of Steffens was at times truthful and accurate, it also should be kept in mind that he visited Stalin's USSR and returned famously stating: "I have seen the future and it works." Just a few points to keep in mind.
