Dear Reuters, State Department Officials, Planet Earth

December 9, 2006

I keep seeing things like this article.

Get it straight. Six million Jews died in the Holocaust. At least nine million people died in the holocaust. My own grandfather, a Catholic Pole, was in a concentration camp. About half the European population of Gypsies died.

I hate to be nitpicky, but that’s just something everyone should know. Is the holocaust not an important enough event that we should be making this kind of mistake?

I hate to lay the blame all on Reuters, because I see it made a lot. Fucking hell.
 
 
Speaking of Reuters and Iran’s pissoff views of the Holocaust, check out this article. read the headline, and then read the body of the article, and ask yourself if maybe Reuters isn’t hyping up the situation a bit. Yeah, nothing new under the sun, but it makes me ask myself why the fuck I’m actually reading Reuters? Oh, yeah, I remember now: Every other news source is just as shitty.
