In 1932 good old Walter even got a Pulitzer prize for his reports about the Soviet Union, although he possibly pushed it a smidgen too far when he denied there was a famine of any sort, not even in the Ukraine. Thankfully the NYT set the record straight and released the following statement regarding Walter’s work “some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper.” Not too sure Walter ever got to read it though, it was released in 1990, only 58 years later!
PS: I never knew about the above, I looked it up, thank you Rick.

The Times has always stunk to high heaven. Sulzberger very quietly apologized 60 years after the war for the way the paper buried Holocaust stories on, like, page 37. He said the NYT’s Jewish owners didn’t want to be seen by its readers as bending toward ‘the Jews’.RA

“Even if Trump did not break any laws, it seems clear that he did not act very presidential when he attempted to coerce Ukraine’s leader into investigating the activities of a company on whose board sat Joe Biden’s son.”
Oh, no…Has TDS crept into your head, too, Rick? I sure hope not!
Anyway, so where is this “clear attempt to coerce” the Ukrainian president — who has already come out and stated there was no coercion in the conversation? It’s not in the transcript, nor has this phantom whistle-blower turned up (and probably won’t, but even if he does, it’ll almost certainly be another Blasey-Ford moment). So far, it’s just the latest case of the vapours to hit democRATS and the #NeverTrump GOPIGS after the utter failure of Russia, Russia, Russia… sharpiegate…
But third cry of wolf’s a charm, I guess!

No TDS here, Ben. I think Trump is doing just fine and that his interaction with Ukraine’s president will prove to be no more impeachable than the phony Russia Connection. However, a thoughtful WSJ column by William Gaston convinced me that Trump’s handling of this affair will not exactly land his face on Mt. Rushmore.RA
