Can we give ABC the Walter Duranty Award?

Referring to The Walter Duranty Prize for Journalistic Mendacity

. . ."The award is given to highlight egregious examples of dishonest reporting. Also awarded this year was the Rather, a new award for lifetime achievement in mendacious journalism.
The Duranty Prize is named after Walter Duranty, the New York Times Moscow corresponded in the 1920s and 1930s who whitewashed Joseph Stalin’s forced starvation of the Ukrainians (the Holodomor) and many other aspects of Soviet oppression. Duranty was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for his efforts. It has never been revoked." . . .  

"His biographer goes further, calling him Stalin’s Apologist."  David Boaz

Now, on to my nomination for this award:  Tom Cotton scolds ABC News for 'outrageous' debate handling after new video surfaces: 'Beyond bias' (msn.com)    . . ."There are currently 900 U.S. military personnel in Syria, 2,500 U.S. troops in Iraq. All have been under regular threat from drones and missiles for months. We also have action in the Red Sea. Also, every single day, the Navy SEALs, Delta Forces special operators can be part of any sort of deadly raid," she said." . . .

Military experts reject Harris' claim of 'no US soldiers in combat zones' as misleading | Fox News   . . ."The Pentagon told Fox News Digital service that members are stationed in various dangerous locations but noted that those deployments are made by the Executive Branch and not due to wars declared by Congress.

"An aspect of military service includes serving in locations where hostile actions may occur," a Defense Official said. "Those locations are designated by executive order and/or the Secretary of Defense."

" 'However, it’s important to note that just because a service member is in one of these locations does not mean they are engaged in war," the official added. "The U.S. is not currently engaged in a war and does not have troops fighting in active war zones anywhere in the world." . . .
