C-SPAN keeps digging the hole depper...

This story just gets weirder and weirder. C-SPAN should have just admitted they were wrong and allowed Lipstadt to come on and discuss her book as every other author gets to do. There's no reason to invite someone on who is obviously wrong just to offer "balance". It's certainly unacceptable to then, when people start complaining about the holocaust denier, uninvite both of them and invite a journalist with only a rudimentary understanding of the book to talk instead of the author. The guy they invited, T.R. Reid, hasn't even read the book. He didn't even seem to do a very good job of covering the trial.
