And I think Mao outclassed them all.

I think your right. But I was thinking of Hitler’s contemporaries and as to why the western liberal press considered him a monster.

Then if we went to murders of innocents as a percentage of the country’s population I think the title would go to Pol Pot.

All told, tens to hundreds of millions dead in the twentieth century to leftist, communist regimes, and their lives are all swept under the rug because they are inconvenient to modern leftist politicians.

Yet in terms of murders within a timeframe, Hitler takes the prize. At least 90% percent of his victims died witin the last 5 years of his rule. Stalin’s victim number spreads over almost 30 years. (Anyway “ranking” massmurdering tyrants is somewhat inane IMO... in the end it doesn’t matter in the verdict of them.)

I think that if there had been no photos of the camps and fewer witnesses that the media would be ignoring it today.

The pictures are so horrific, and there are so many personal accounts out there that the media HAS to be on the record as denouncing it. Otherwise they'd been seen as approving.
