Bailouts for Journalists? | Jim Powell | Cato Institute: Commentary

Bailouts for Journalists? | Jim Powell | Cato Institute: Commentary: "An estimated 20 million citizens of the Soviet Union were killed by their own government, and Stalin was responsible for more those deaths than any other Soviet ruler. English author H.G. Wells reported that he 'never met a man more candid, fair and honest ... no one is afraid of him and everybody trusts him.' The English playwright George Bernard Shaw hailed Soviet prisons where victims 'could stay as long as they liked.' President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's ambassador to Moscow Joseph E. Davies purred that Stalin's 'eye is exceedingly wise and gentle.'"
