FAIR and Zinn defend Terkel from NYT 14Nov2008
Liberal press watchdog group Fair and Accuracy in Reporting takes the New York Times to task for its attempt to smear Studs Terkel as a Marxist who somehow insidiously injected Communist politics into his ground-breaking oral histories. They link to Howard Zinn’s defense of Terkel, too. At the FAIR Blog.
