Stalin's Apologist: Walter Duranty : The New York Times Man in Moscow

Rating:
Summary: Nazi propaganda Rehash
Review: This book is a compilation of the same slanders that the US and European oligarhic installed Nazis promoted about Stalin. The fascist liars have a big problem in that the reports of the times from legitimate journalists contradict their Hitlerite ravings. Duranty didn't win a pulitzer prize because he was incompetent. I suggest you get a copy of the book "Fraud, Famine, and Fascism: The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard" by Douglas Tottle. It is effectively censored (as it knocks the lying fascists into the mud) off the market but your library can do an interlibrary loan for you if you ask them. You would not believe the sources the fascists use for their lies (Nazis mainly, counterfit photos from the 1920 famine when 14 capitilist countries attacked Russia all at once....they then claim these are from 1933 even though they are ALL in 1921 publications readily availabl;e!!!) and all the real sources of the time that contradict their lies they denounce. Most of these lies come from Ukrainian organizations of Nazi collaborators that were allowed into canada and the US and publish this filth as their own hands drip with real blood.

Summary: Well Documented Story of Duranty's False Reporting
Review: Today, even the New York Times itself no longer praises Duranty or the Pulitzer prize he received for his false reporting from Russia for the Times. The NYT website admits on it's Pulitzer page that his reporting has been debunked by various sources. The fact that the terror famine in Ukraine in the early 1930's wiped out millions is simply not in dispute by any serious researchers anymore. What has not received in depth coverage, until now, is the major role Duranty's reporting played in shielding this massive horror from the rest of the world.
The terror famine in Ukraine was one of the great crimes of the 20th century. Yet it has remained obscured behind other mass murders, such as the Nazi "Final Solution" and the "Killing Fields" of the Khmer Rouge. This book fully documents how this tragic omission from the mainstream historical record came to pass.

Summary: The apologist for socialism's atrocities and Wholecaust
Review: Very good book but could use more info on why the New York Times and the lamestream media will never mention that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics killed 62 million people; The Peoples' Republic of China killed 35 million; and the National Socialist German Workers' Party killed 21 million (the socialist trio of atrocities). As a lawyer, I would like to know why the media are socialist deniers of the Wholecaust (written of elsewhere). And more info is needed on why the New York Times to this very day evades the full accurate phrase "National Socialist German Workers' Party" but uses a hackneyed misleading abbreviation. The media use the word "Nazi" to cover-up for the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party, in a vain effort to rehabilitate socialism. And any search of the New York Times (or any newspaper's or media's) search engine will show it. The New York Times website search engine reveals that the newspaper has NEVER fully identified the horrid "National Socialist German Workers' Party" since 1996. In comparison the newspaper used the hackneyed abbreviations "nazi" & "nazis" & "nazism" thousands of times, apparently exclusively of their full meaning. Try the search engine at newspapers in your area. The search engine shows no instance in which the Times has ever informed their reading public of the full phrase for the monstrous party. An objective newspaper would use the full phrase more often to help explain and educate the public about the newspaper's hackneyed lazy use of the horrid term "Nazi." Does the newspaper have a de facto policy to use "Nazi" to cover-up the monstrous "National Socialist German Workers' Party" as an effort to rehabilitate socialism?
