The New York Guardian was a monthly periodical published by Herbert London, a professor at New York University and the 1990 Conservative Party candidate for governor of New York State. The paper's editor-in-chief was Christopher W. Ruddy, who went on to work as an investigative reporter at the New York Post and then to found and edit NewsMax.
The New York Guardian gained national attention in 1993 when it exposed the historical inaccuracy of the PBS documentary Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II, which alleged that an all-African American Army unit liberated the Dachau and Buchenwald Nazi death camps near the end of World War II.
The New York Guardian ceased publication in 1994 when it was purchased by Human Events, the weekly conservative newspaper.
Famous quotes containing the words york and/or guardian:
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“If the guardian or the mother
Tell the woes of willful waste,
Scorn their counsel and their pother,
You can hang or drown at last.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
