“His eyes are almost the color of the blue larkspur in a vase behind him…”

The New York Times has never met a socialist they didn’t like.

“His eyes are almost the color of the blue larkspur in a vase behind him…”
Kinda like Junior Trudeau with Peter Mansbridge comparing the colour of their ties for the “exclusive” interview.
“Oh, my. They’re both blue”. The amazing ties were duly noted as the two socialists got into the back of the limo for some government sponsored propaganda paid for by the same people who just voted the child into office.
Kissy, kissy.

“What is troubling, however, is the extent to which some mainstream American newspaper editors and reporters deviated from accepted journalistic standards and allowed their better judgment to be clouded by wishful thinking, admiration for punctual trains, susceptibility to celebrity, or deference to the president. One wonders how their successors would respond if a comparable situation were to arise in our own time.”
Today’s journalists are smart and educated. So couldn’t happen now.

I wonder if he was good-naturedly nicknamed ” Ace ” by his close friends at the Times that knew he possessed only one testicle while protecting him.

Except he was a “socialist” in the same way the German Democratic Republic was “democratic.” He was loved by American industrialists (obviously also socialists) who supported Hitler far more than Americans today like to admit.

But nice try with your revisionism.

Do you even know what ‘revisionism’ means?

The New York Times was also in love with the human monster Stalin through their useful idiot Walter Duranty.

Any difference from today with muslims? The media and our lefties support them, coddle them and enable them to destroy our society. I am amazed how many people no little or nothing about islam though they are worried.

Ken: The New York Times is in love with totalitarianism in all its forms.

Thanks, your unintentional irony is most amusing.

“His eyes are almost the color of the blue larkspur”, the author’s words lathered in lick-spittle.

Well, yes. American industrialists did trade with Germany in the 1930s but not so much after the invasion of Poland in 1939. And traded with Japan too in the 30s.
And I’d say the situation was even worse even DURING the first WW but with the English industrialists. And then there is the American Civil war where the U.S. was close to war with both England (over trade with the south) and also with France (over their invasion of Mexico).
History is complicated and very contextual. Some of it is shameful in hindsight. Certainly a case could be made that Hitler’s rise to power was the fault of western politicians who wanted to punish and (especially)diminish Germany after WWI. In short, there is plenty of blame to spread around.
Journalists have been instrumental in influencing the public probably since the first flyer was printed and distributed. It’s what they do. The internet has changed this somewhat in form and size. But journalism is still influencing public opinion everywhere in the world…. including this site.

joe kennedy sr lost his son joe kennedy jr. to the war.
didnt stop him from being and acting like a nazi sympathizer whilst ambassador to britain.
being part of the royal fambly didn’t stop the duke of windsor doing likewise.
‘nazis are the black hats, britain & USA are the white hats’.
uh uh. not so clearly defined.

American industrialists also traded with Stalin, does it make him not a communist? Ugh never mind you will probably respond with typical drivel how Stalin wasn’t a true communist.

…and in front of those blue larkspur eyes, pen in hand, sits the contents of the blue larkspur vase: air.

“…editors and reporters deviated from accepted journalistic standards and allowed their better judgment to be clouded by wishful thinking…”
It doesn’t happen now because accepted journalistic standards have been adjusted to include this.
