The new york times nol gave a prize to walter duranty, who lied about the ukraine famine. The paper refused to give it back because they didn't know where the actual prize was. A professor from columbia told them to do so and that's what happened. But i don't call that liberalism. I call that illiberalism, or regressive the regressive leftor whatever term. And one of the reasons for not giving it back is that they felt that to do so would be to acknowledge the truth of history.

Michael Shermer speaks with Ashley Rindsberg about his book The Gray Lady Winked in which he pulls back the curtain on the the world’s most powerful news outlet and flagship of the American news media, the New York Times, to reveal a quintessentially human organization where ideology, ego, power and politics compete with the more humble need to present the facts. Rindsberg offers an eye-opening, often shocking, look at the New York Times’s greatest journalistic failures, so devastating they changed the course of history.
