Holocaust denial on C-SPAN

David Irving is, unfortunately, in the news again, this time thanks to C-SPAN: C-SPAN's Balance of the Absurd.

I think it's pretty obvious how rigidly C-SPAN's producers are sticking to their "guidelines" on balance. But balance to promote the spread of valid ideas is one thing. Balance for its own sake, especially when it helps invalid ideas, is another.

PS: The title really doesn't count, since neither "side" of the story is going to be on C-SPAN.
