The New York Times Lies Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

The New York Times helped Stalin hide the Ukrainian famine he created. Their “reporter”, Walter Durante, did so in an interesting way. What he did was to deny the mass deaths from famine by writing that while there was some hunger and some mismanagement, there were no mass deaths from starvation. Instead, he wrote, “there is no actual starvation or death from starvation, but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition.” The dead, you see, died from the sniffles, not from hunger.

The technique is interesting and evergreen: don’t deny the fact that there is a problem, but minimize it and blame it on other factors. And, in Durante’s case – as well as his reincarnation ion the current crop of liars at the New York Times – vilify the brave people that try to tell the truth.

This is how the Times tries to twist the leaks coming out of the Inspector General’s report on the Obama Administration’s illegal spying on the Trump campaign. The modern-day Walter Durnates want you to believe that the top leaders of Team Obama were only doing their jobs. Any “errors” were made by obscure underlings who no one has ever heard of.
