Looks like C-SPAN buckled. Supposedly they recieved 3,000 emails mostly negative complaining about Irving. You would think the revisionist side could muster at least 1,500 emails -- Oh well I suppose it will take a few more years --



C-SPAN's Attempt To 'Balance' Views On Holocaust Deemed an 'Absurdity'
New York Sun (subscription), NY - 1 hour ago
BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun
In the face of protests from historians and Jewish groups, C-SPAN yesterday backed down from plans to air a lengthy speech from an author whom critics and a British court have labeled as a holocaust denier. Instead, the network's popular "Book TV"...

Well, we can trust Lipstadt. After all, we all know that she didn't do this flagrant dodge because Irving would have drawn immediate doubt on her viewpoint. Nor did she do it because the public would have seen right through her and warmed to revisionism. Never was there the chance she did it because Irving could have asked things about the holocaust that she couldn't answer. Or that those things would have destroyed the "holocaust denial" canard and drawn doubt on US war propaganda. No.
She did it because Irving is a holocaust denier and there are no shades in between...

This show sure generated alot of interest, however I can't say that it's worth a darn, here is the link for the online video --

I must say though it sure puts a smile on ones face the way David manages to get these three ring circuses going with the traditional enemies of freedom :D
