When Welsh Cad revealed Gray Old Lady to be a Lying Red Whore
Avuncular Uncle Joe gave him a proper admonishment

Dead journalists floating down the River Charly is about as close to Sweet Reason as Planet Pepe knows how to get.
Gareth Jones stood up to Stalin, and to Duranty, the archetypal pinko journalist and Commie apologist. The Cheka was not amused: Detained by Japanese forces, the pair were told that there were three routes back to the Chinese town of Kalgan, only one of which was safe; they took this route but were captured by bandits who demanded a ransom of 100,000 Mexican silver pesos. The German journalist was released after two days, but 16 days later the bandits shot Jones under mysterious circumstances, on the eve of his 30th birthday. There were strong suspicions that Jones' murder was engineered by the Soviet NKVD, as revenge for the embarrassment he had previously caused the Soviet regime.
