“The Gray Lady Winked,” by author Ashley Rindsberg, takes a probing look at the shameful side of the New York Times’ news coverage — including the cover-up of the Ukrainian Holdomor and reporting by Pulitizer Prize-winning reporter Walter Duranty that was ideologically aligned with Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.

Walter Duranty’s shameful misreporting of the 1932-33 famine in Soviet Ukraine is just one of many large-scale failures in journalism committed by the New York Times, according to The Gray Lady Winked, a new book by Israel-based American author Ashley Rindsberg.

The book is a study of the biggest reporting failures of what many consider to be the United States’ paper of record. It invokes episodes ranging from the Gray Lady’s soft coverage of the Nazi regime in Germany to their fabricated interviews with families of soldiers who died in the Iraq War.
