Leff (which also accounts for almost all of the cites in the article). The claims and opinions of that author are repeated as fact, producing ridiculously non-NPOV language like "...Sulzeberger’s firmly held personal beliefs that it was wrong to ever treat Jews as a people" or "The paper of record deliberately hid the Holocaust from the American people."

Perhaps a broader (better written, better sourced, more neutral) article about US press coverage would be notable. But this article is focused exclusively on one news outlet.

You have to be kidding me -- the subject of US Press coverage of the holocaust is covered broadly, just look around. The article needs work, no question, but if you look for press articles about this subject, they are

Well sourced? Almost the entire article is sourced to a single book, repeating the claims and opinions of that author as fact. What little else is referenced is cited to a single editorial or something called hnn.us
