The idea of the book struck Ashley Rindsberg’s mind when one fine day he came across a footnote in William Shirer’s book Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, which read that ‘Poland invaded Germany’. The book revolves around this daily and its distorted (mis)reporting which the millions of people digested and believed it as an ultimate truth. The family still runs the New York Times who echoes left-leaning ideology, educated and wealthy-intellectual elite Americans that supported the Soviet Experiment and its utopian aims from the beginning.
The audience were passive and credulous, sources of getting information were not only less but massively dominated by American daily “The New York Times”, owned by Sulzberger family since 1896. Even though there were radios, people highly relied on newspapers to comprehend the situation in the whole world. Today we have been gifted the power of “choosing our information” since the emergence of “New Media”.
