Recommendable! Nice reminder that the history of print news media is littered with consequential fake stories! Unfortunately, the author of this article mentions only one such egregious historical fake story!
"In 1931, The New York Times published 13 articles by its Moscow reporter and Communist sympathizer, Walter Duranty, praising the Soviet Union and dictator Joseph Stalin’s government. These articles relied solely on official Soviet communist sources, ignored the evidence contradicting the government’s propaganda, and covered up the genocide Stalin was committing in the Ukraine."
