The article states that "Following Hitler's rise to power, Hearst became a supporter of the Nazi Party, ordering his journalists to publish favourable coverage of Nazi Germany, and allowing leading Nazis to publish articles in his newspapers". But the source "Blackshirts and reds: rational fascism and the overthrow of communism" (by Michael Parenti) says "There was a strong "Give Adolph A Chance" contingent, some of it greased by Nazi money. In exchange for more positive coverage in the Hearst newspapers, for instance, the Nazis paid almost ten times the standard subscription rate for Hearst's INS wire service. In return, William Randolph Hearst instructed his correspondents in Germany to file friendly reports about Hitler's regime. Those who refused were transferred or fired. Hearst newspapers even opened their pages to occasional guest columns by prominent Nazi leaders like Alfred Rosenberg and Hermann Goring". For historical purposes, it should be contextualized here -- as should have been in Parenti's book -- that, firstly, Hearst supported Hitler's regime for money and, secondly, that it occurred during the great Depression, period during which, as the article itself makes clear, "[Hearst] poorly managed finances [being] so deeply in debt". 177.27.10.94 (talk) 01:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
