Unfreedom of the Press

by Mark R. Levin, read in 2020

130 Chuck Todd's background.
133 A summary of the Russia Collusion hoax.
144 'Holodomor' - Stalin's deliberate starvation of millions of Ukrainians.
166 "...the [NY] Times was proud of their man in Moscow. In 1932, [Walter] Duranty was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles In the Times that covered up Stalinism's atrocities."
168 "Even as the fertile Ukraine, once the breadbasket of Europe, became a modern-day Golgotha, a place of skulls, Duranty plowed the truth under. Occasionally pressed on the human costs of the Soviet experiment he did, however, evolve a dismissive dodge canting 'you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.'"
172 "How is it possible that such colossal media failures of integrity, morality, and professional canons in the face of the mass extermination of Jews and Ukrainians do not permanently cripple the reputation and standing of the New York Times and the other press organizations, or at least force serious circumspection within and reformation of the media industry? And what of the weak excuses and feeble explanations offered decades later, as if they are atonement enough for the abhorrent consequences of the media's role in the cover up of the genocidal murder of millions?

Is there another industry of any sort that can so blithely if not arrogantly and self-righteously carry on as if none of this happened? Surely, if the dead could speak, they would declare the Times and the other press outlets "the enemy of the people" for their wanton inhumanity in the face of genocide.
220 "...the Times, which is considered the gold standard of journalism by other newsrooms and journalists and a guide star for news stories and leads, has a wretched history of deceit and untruthfulness virtually unmatched by any other news organization ."
