This article focuses on the quality of report provided in newspapers regarding the Cultural and Scientific Conference for World Peace which held in the U.S. in March 1949. With certain notable exceptions there was a general abdication of the responsibility to furnish an impartial report, most of the New York newspapers not only condemned the conference in their editorials, as they had a perfect right to do, but sought to discredit it in their news columns. Stories were slanted, headlines were loaded, incidents were invented, wild and absurd charges were played up, outright lies were printed as solemn fact.
