This week, journalists are quite concerned about shameful moments in history. Yet, conservative radio host Mark Levin on Wednesday found OTHER moments they aren’t so fond of remembering. On his show, Levin excoriated the New York Times for lecturing Donald Trump and Republicans on Civil War statues. He mocked, “The New York Times is said to be the paper of record. The New York Times is the paper that all the left-wingers pick up when they are going on Amtrak.”

He derided the Times as:

The very newspaper that sought to conceal the Holocaust, something that Donald Trump has never done! Just as Franklin Roosevelt attempted to conceal the Holocaust! Something Donald Trump has never done!

(For audio of the segment, go here.) Citing the love liberals have for FDR, the host wondered, “Where are the Franklin Roosevelt memorials? Why aren’t we ripping them down?... The only modern President to put American citizens in internment camps!”

Levin then read from this 2013 Daily Beast expose of the New York Times:

Between 1939 and 1945, The New York Times published more than 23,000 front-page stories. Of those, 11,500 were about World War II. Twenty-six were about the Holocaust. So why did “the paper of record,” which President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is said to have combed through every morning, decide to bury the bulk of its Holocaust coverage deep inside the paper, nestled between advertisements? ... We now know that the U.S. government was aware of the genocide as early as 1942. The “fourth estate” was aware as well, yet still pussyfooted around it. As an example of the Times’s paltry coverage of the Holocaust, which claimed the lives of approximately 6 million Jews, the film points to a story published in the paper July 29, 1942, about the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto. The story bore the headline “Warsaw Fears Extermination,” was published on Page 7, and was not even a stand-alone story, instead consisting of a handful of paragraphs nestled next to an ad for Emerson spinet pianos.

“It was a bad judgment call,” former Times reporter Alex Jones (’83–’92) says in the film. “It was something that mattered as much as anything as far as news judgment, and The New York Times blew it.”

Levin seethed, “Oh, they blew it? Over and over and over again! For ten years, they blew it! The New York Times. And they dare to write an editorial trashing Donald Trump, who is responsible for none of this?”
