For anyone that wants to fully understand the links between grifter journalists fascists all the way to to the Hearst Press (ran by a fascist William Randolph Hearst who gave columns to Mussolini and Goering)
Should read Fraud, Famine and Fascism by Douglas Tottle
What that book proves is that "Thomas Walker" employed by one of Hearsts tabloid rags only visited the Soviet union for 2 weeks and stayed around Moscow whereas he claimed he was there for 2 years.
He was eventually found as a fraud for a numerous string of other things in a US court of law.
So ironically everyone knew this in the 1930s that there was a fraudulent journalists trying to spin the famine as a "holodomor"
They should also read Grover Furrs chapter in Blood lies (in fact they should read the book in full) which can be found here
This reads like a joke but it's actually true, the Holodomor was widely understood to be false after his highly publicized trial, where he admitted it was. It didn't begin to pick up steam until after WWII, where you would eventually get situations of one author citing another citing another all the way down to Walker.

This isn't an entirely accurate representation: "Thomas Walker" also apparently was found guilty in 4 European countries as well. Fuck em, fam
