Revoke Walter Duranty's Pulitzer

Revoke Walter Duranty's Pulitzer

About 70 years ago, Walter Duranty participated in the cover up of Stalin's Ukrainian genocide. That he did so has been known for a long time. But at the time, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his "reporting," which was basically shilling for communism. He should have it prize revoked.
I doubt that the Times wins anything for its Iraq coverage. Nobody's going to get away with shilling for Saddam or Howard Dean. But if they do, there will be demands for its return as well.
