New York Times[edit]

The article states that on April 16th (prior to the famous June 9th, 1954 Welch-McCarthy exchange) the New York Times discussed Fisher's situation. This would imply that McCarthy hadn't in fact publicly outed Fisher, since the NYT discussed the situation first. A search of NY Times archives however shows their first mention of Fisher was on June 10th, in an article that provided excerpts of the prior day's McCarthy hearing. That being the case, I am removing this statement from the article. 65.190.240.12 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:02, 29 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Nonesense. It is in the New York Times of April 16, 1954. Even a picture of Fisher. A front page story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.206.168 (talk) 17:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
