C-SPAN often teeters on the brink of self-parody, particularly when the hosts of its morning discussion program, Washington Journal, stare impassively at the camera while yet another crazed caller recites chapter and verse of the latest conspiracy theories This is one of the best things about C-SPAN. Brian Lamb is especially good at this. Sometimes he lets someone who sounds nutty go on for an unusually long time, much longer than any of the other hosts, and then the caller ends up saying something that makes some sense. Lamb has said of these people: "More than once they have been right."
As for Lipstadt, I sometimes get the feeling that people like her are in it for their own self-glorification.
I agree. The Holocaust denier not only will be taken to task by the callers, but he'll hang himself with his own unhistorical nonsense.
CSPAN has nuts on all the time. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
