Remember, the New York Times' Moscow bureau chief from 1922 through 1936, Walter Duranty, purposefully helped cover up the Soviet role in the Ukranian famine. Duranty's reporting has fallen into disrepute primarily because of his reports denying the famine in Ukraine. He has also been criticized for his favorable portrayals of Stalin and his uncritical coverage of Stalin's show trials. http://www.nytco.com/company-awards-pulitzer-note.html
