Excellent, and I am looking forward to Act 3.
Meanwhile, I have a question: was the NYT the only paper that minimized the Holocaust? this crucial piece of evidence for the malaise of the NYT is missing from this piece.
Roger,
Tremendous! The Duranty business has been neglected far too long. Also, the influence of the famine on the internecine politics of Weimar
Germany, fear of Stalin and Bolshevism helped drive Hitler to power. Famine 1932-33/Hitler rise to chancellory, Jan,1933. Ukraine was 400 miles from German border. The german people knew of the Holdomor because many germans remained in the Ukraine after WW1 fighting Bolsheviks.
Frankly I’d rather read the transcript.
I’ve learned not to click on PJM video links because I’m not interested in getting shucked to sign up for the video service nor in hearing unexpected audio coming at me when I’ve new tabbed a bunch of links at once.
Sorry, Roger.
Very well done, and I particularly appreciate the parallel between Duranty mis-reporting as a function of his own ego and prestige and CNN (prior to 2002 invasion) suppressing knowlege of Saddam’s atrocities so its news organization wouldn’t be kicked out of Iraq.
I was horrified to learn that a news organization could behave thusly (CNN), and it was the beginning of the end of process to not rely on entrenched media for accurate information.
