BBC: "Auschwitz 'claims'"
How's this for a BBC headline?
"Irving rejects Auschwitz claims"
Is the BBC a Holocaust denier? Is the horror of Auschwitz in question? Jailed British historian David Irving has again (after recanting before his sentence was handed down) said he does not believe Hitler presided over a systematic attempt to exterminate Jews in Europe.
So the accepted facts of the Holocaust (the destrcution of European Jewry, the killing of millions of non—Jews) are called "Claims" by the BBC.
Are the journalists at the BBC so imbued with the post—modern belief that there is no such thing as "truth" that they would call the Holocaust facts "claims"
