Controversies

  • C. L. Sulzberger in 1944 wrote a glowing review of Edgar Snow's People on Our Side and plugged Snow's earlier 1937 work, Red Star Over China in which Snow stated, "The political ideology, tactical line and theoretical leadership of the Chinese Communists have been under the close guidance, if not positive direction, of the Communist International, which during the last decade has become virtually a bureau of the Russian Communist Party. In the final analysis this means that for better or worse, the policies of the Chinese Communists, like the Communists in every other country, have had to fall in line with, and usually subordinate themselves to, the broad strategic requirements of Soviet Russia, under the dictatorship of Stalin."[9] Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin, the leaders given endorsement here as "people on our side," are the two biggest mass murderers in history.
  • In 2003, New York Times reporter Jayson Blair resigned after it was found that he had engaged in repeated plagiarism and deceit, copying articles from other newspapers and making up other articles out of whole cloth. Blair was promoted and problems with his reporting were ignored due to the newspaper's adherence to affirmative action[12] Online NewsHour
