new york post publisher Lachlan Murdoch, editor Keith Poole, and reporters Larry Celona, Joe Marino and Amanda Woods, and abc news editor-in-chief Alesia Cullen, and other John and Jane Does at abc news and the new york post win major journalism award!

The Duranty-Blair Award recognizes those journalists whose work embodies the spirit of Walter Duranty and Jayson Blair, two of the most notorious scoundrels in the history of the Fourth Estate. It is no accident that both men worked for the new york times.

Today, in a secluded section of central park, a black man app. six-feet tall and in his thirties, with a medium build, allegedly attempted to rape a female sunbather. The original new york post “thing,” on the crime, with a time mark of 5:02 p.m., withheld the police description of the alleged attacker, and blocked or deleted the vast majority of reader commenters.

After most reader-commenters complained vociferously about the Gauleiter’s censorship, editor Keith Poole, or his deputy revised the story, but without acknowledging that he had done so. The time-mark remained at 5:02 p.m.

At abc news philadelphia, the story on the same alleged crime initially referred to the alleged perp having “pearly hair,” which can still be seen on google, and later was changed to “curly hair,” as if the perp were Jewish, hispanic, italian, whatever.

To those thinking, “Yeah, but they started hiding race years ago,” they have to stop, and we have to make them stop.

Although I have often meant to issue many more D-Bs since 2018, amid the constant blizzard of fraudulent scribbling, thanks to “j-schools,” which only exist, in order to cull students showing any decent and honest tendencies from the so-called news business, and racial socialist newsroom enforcers, in which only the exceptional piece of media stuff does not deserve a D-B, I have frequently neglected to do so. However, as abitrary as the business may have become, I still must issue these rasberries.

Walter Duranty wrote a series of early 1930s dispatches from the Soviet Union, where he was times Moscow bureau chief, in which he lied about the Ukrainian Holocaust, in which Stalin deliberately starved millions of Kulaks (farmers/peasants) to death, through a man-made famine. Instead of reporting the truth, Duranty reported that the peasants were happy and well-fed, and was rewarded for his lies with a Pulitzer Prize.

Jayson Blair (here, here, and here) was an early 2000s black affirmative action hire, who alternately plagiarized reporters at other newspapers, and fabricated articles out of whole cloth, all for stories set hundreds and even thousands of miles away, while he sat in New York City cafés.
