re: #701 Obdicut

Wow. Well, I don’t agree. I think if there’s a debate between a Holocaust denier and a historian of the Holocaust, the reporter has an absolute duty to report that Holocaust denial is based in lies. I don’t think presenting both sides is any sort of real objectivity.

If someone is reporting on Iran’s claims that they have no gay people in their country, I would like to see the reporter state how incredibly unlikely that is, or tie in the oppression of gays in Iran against that.

When someone lies, I feel it is the duty of a reporter to expose that lie.

It would be quite factual for a reporter to report that 99% of those claiming to be Holocaust experts are united in believing that Holocaust denial is a lie.
