The founder( Adolph Och) of today's owner of the New York Times had Confederate sympathies.

A story in the New York Post, on 6/26/2015 page 10 with the headline 'South of Times Sq. is about a tiny Confederate flags in a New York subway station. A tile mosaic to honor Adolph Och, who owned the New York Time from 1896 to 1935 when he died, his family still owns the Times. It was installed 90 years ago, Och was from Tennessee in newspaper business, don't know if know Henry
Waterman legendary newspaperman  from Kentucky, who actually was in the Confederate army. Anyway Och found out  the New York Times was bankrupt and could be had for cheap price Somehow he come up with 75,000 dollar and brought the New York Times in 1896. Now people think f New York Times as Jewish newspaper, Och was indeed an Orthodox Jew, but he was very much Southern, indeed, he was buried with a Confederate flag, and also very proud of his German roots, indeed, in World War One when many change there names to Anglo ones from Germany names Och did not, despite the fact some in his family change to Oaks.
Ochs was consider a joke when he buy the New York Times. Many saw as hick and Jewish at that who can't make in New York market. Well proved them wrong the New York Times was reborn under Och and by the time he died it was not only major playing in the New York market, a paper that could turn a nation.
