Why Hearst Lies About Communism

Written by William F. Dunne and published in 1935, it is reprinted here to show how main stream media uses imperialistic propaganda.



The question arises: If Hearst and his high-salaried staff of defenders of fascism and slanderers of workers and the social revolution with Communists as the immediate target lie deliberately about such fundamental issues as that of the tactics of the transition period from capitalism to Communism, that is, the dictatorship of the working class, what do they do about ordinary news of workers struggles and the daily economic and political issues that arise?



Hearst stands convicted of slandering and lying about one of the greatest figures of world history, the greatest leader of workers, the colonial peoples, and the exploited rural population, that ever lived Lenin.



American workers will have no trouble in deciding whose teachings to accept. They will follow the Leninist truth not the fascist lies of Hearst.
