Genocide? What genocide?
In eternal infamy, Walter Duranty, wites UKRAYINSKA PRAVDA:
"the veteran Moscow correspondent of The New York Times, whose admirers ranged from H.L. Mencken and Walter Lippmann to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, responded only two days later in the pages of his august publication. Far more than anything disgraced former Times reporter Jayson Blair wrote, it was arguably the most infamous piece of reporting or analysis ever to appear in that great paper.
Duranty, an 11-year veteran of Moscow who had won the Pulitzer Prize the previous year, disparaged Jones as having made a "somewhat hasty" judgment on the basis of "a 40-mile walk through villages near Kharkov" where he "had found conditions sad."
Having dismissed the conditions that in fact led to the deaths of 10 million men, women and children as merely "sad," Duranty went on to explained that "you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs." He explicitly stated "there is no famine."
Who is this Jones, the good guy in this story? He is now being accorded title: "Gareth Jones, hero of Ukraine".
Just like the local "hyenas" (a name aptly given to journalists by Czech President, Václav Klaus), the beating of some journalist by the RNA or some other "crime" is being equaled with REAL HORRORS, like some guys come to your house and behead your husband or rob your entire harvest or take your child to the mountains! Cultural Relativity my ass!
Now Yushchenko is coming with more:
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko calls on the world to recognise the 1930s Great Famine as Soviet genocide. Let's see what the Gray Lady has to say about this, if they find a place on page 17 - there is so many amerikkkan atrocities to report... like the underwear-party at Abu Ghraib, right?
