If you were an old person who had read the New York Times
all your life you would have been the last to know that Stalin ran a
terror state and killed millions in his 1930's show trials (last year
the Times apologized for this oversight.) You would not have known till
four years later what the Time's editors withheld from you: millions of
Jews were being killed by the Nazis.
More recently you would not have known that the most prestigious French intellectual visited America to write a brilliant and insightful follow-up on Tocqueville's works (B-H Levy). That the most important planner of the Iraq War wrote an honest and comprehensive book on the decision making up to and including the war (D. Feith ). That John McCain wrote an editorial for the NYTimes which they wouldn't publish. That the Time's ad staff gave heavily subsidized ad space to a libel against America's top Army general. That the Israeli Army gave conclusive photo and tape evidence to the NYTimes editors to prove that Israeli troops didn't wage a full scale attack on (Jenin), the day the blood libel was issued by the Arabs and published by the Times.
The list is long. The Times has plenty of blood on its hands and always has had.
