Where it came from and who, if anyone, is responsible is important. COVID has killed millions and transformed the entire world. That story is perhaps the most important story of our time. That history may be relevant again because the New York Times reportedly decided not to use its considerable influence and resources to investigate the origins of COVID-19 at the same time China was lying and delaying, which cost lives. One reporter, Gareth Jones, tried to find the facts and get the truth out and battled Duranty, who declared that there was no famine. He bullied other reporters from covering it. He actively participated under the respected aegis of the New York Times. Short version: As the New York Times correspondent in Moscow and the most respected Western reporter in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, Duranty actively covered up the massive campaign of starvation and murder that Joseph Stalin perpetrated against Ukraine. He’s dead now but is important to this story because of a massive tragedy that he deliberately covered up. Yeah, they’re still doing daily Trump tantrums over there.īryan wrote a post yesterday that highlighted the complete lack of journalistic integrity that permeates the entire Times organization:įor the Facebook fact-checkers and interns who’ll undoubtedly look this piece over, look up Walter Duranty. I wrote a post earlier in the week about the Times blaming Donald Trump for Joe Biden’s inability to hire radical climate leftists at a pace that pleases the progressives. Now, the Times is just one big hyperventilating leftist Opinion section. There was a time when real journalists wrote for the Times.
The New York Times was once considered the finest newspaper in the land.
Both did play a role, but I would also blame the fact that newspapers abandoned doing real journalism a long time ago, which drove people away.
The story about the demise of physical newspapers revolves around the internet and the rise of craigslist, which pretty much destroyed classified ads. After church, I would make a doughnut run and spend a couple of hours getting ink all over my hands. When my daughter was young, I subscribed to two of them: The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times. Remember the Sunday paper? It weighed a zillion pounds and back in the day, people would spend a lot of quality time with them.
