Pulitzer Rewards Fake News--Again!

"21 Scholars Demand '1619 Project' Writer Lose Pulitzer for Fabricating History--

This is not the first time the new york times reported fake news--and the writer received a Pulitzer. When Stalin deliberately caused 3 million to 10 million peasants to starve https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/04/was_the_starvation_of_the_kula.html , the new york times Moscow bureau chief, Walter Duranty, denied that people were starving. Meanwhile:

"A surreal aspect of Duranty’s life in Russia was his fondness for fine dining. Here is an excerpt from his description of meals available in a restaurant near his hotel: 'caviar; … grilled salmon and roast partridge; … fine Russian cheese, hot-house grapes, old port and older cognac.' The NYT was willing to pay for all these amenities because Duranty managed to get exclusive interviews with Stalin. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement for all parties involved: Stalin received good publicity in the West, the NYT published exclusive interviews with Stalin, which helped its circulation, while Duranty could lead his glamorous and lavish lifestyle." https://thefederalist.com/2017/03/24/new-york-times-contributed-ukraines-bitter-harvest-1930s/

"In 2003, Ukrainian organizations petitioned the Pulitzer Board to posthumously revoke Duranty’s prize. After deliberation, the board extended its 'sympathy to Ukrainians … who still mourn the suffering and deaths brought on by Josef Stalin,' but rejected the symbolic petition, claiming that it could not find 'clear and convincing evidence of deliberate deception.'”

So the Pulitzer for the writer of the new york times' "1619 Project" is not the first time the Pulitzer Prize has been awarded for fake news published by the new york times.
