The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. A 1903 New York Times editorial on the Kishinev massacre describes killings and atrocities of 'inconceivable cruelty' against Jewish residents, showing the paper covered the violence in Russia.[1]
Supports. A documentary history notes that a special correspondent for the Anglo-Jewish Jewish World traveled to Kiev to report on pogroms, and that newspapers worldwide published descriptions of pogroms including occasional references to the rape of Jewish women.[2]
Supports. Sources describe the 1903–1906 pogroms, including gang rape at Kishinev, which is the mass-rape subject matter the claim references.[2][3]
Context. The sources do not directly address whether the London Times published accounts of mass rape, so that element is only indirectly supported. The post's characterization of these accounts as sensationalized or invented is not tested by the sources.[2]
