I don't know why it took me so long....
to find THIS website. It's the best news compilation on the Western side in the current war. It treats the news in the same way that ALL of our news media did in WW2. (I've seen other our-side news sites, but they're either sporadic or seem to have an odd secondary agenda.)
Also, it took me too long to catch the severe irony in the firing of John Evans as ambassador to Armenia. He was fired for accurately describing the Turkish genocide of Armenians as the Turkish genocide of Armenians.
What would happen if any American administration fired an official for accurately describing Hitler's genocide as Hitler's genocide? Can't even imagine it.
So apparently we don't really have a problem with genocide, and we don't really have anything against denying the facts of genocide. In fact we favor such denial as long as the perpetrators are Mohammedans (or Russians or Chinese for that matter). It's only a problem when the perpetrators are Germans. ¶ 10:36 AM
