From Harry’s Place:
Here he is, standing in for George Galloway.
Press TV publishes, approvingly, Holocaust denial material. Recently, it published an essay by the disgraced Holocaust Denier and neo-Nazi, Nicolas Kollerstrom, that concludes “that the alleged massacre of Jewish people by gassing during World War II was scientifically impossible”. PressTV’s introductory comment is as follows:
The distinguished academic was dismissed on April 22, 2008 without any explanation and a Holocaust conference held on 16-18 May in Berlin refused his article and warned that he would be arrested if he attended the conference and presented his essay.
The West punishes people for their scientific research on Holocaust but the same western countries allow insults to prophets and religious beliefs…
More recently, it published this:
Press TV has excelled itself by running a story that no reputable news outlet had reported: a supposed CIA study predicting the collapse of Israel within 20 years. The only authority cited for this study was “international lawyer Franklin Lamb”. Lamb is a political activist described by Hizbollah’s TV station in Lebanon as “persistent in his support for the just cause of the Lebanese people’s resistance”.

Here is another recently known personality who found solace in the arms of Press TV:
“Former US diplomat Charles W. Freeman says he doubts whether the current Israeli policies can guarantee the regime’s survival in the Middle East.
“I don’t see how Israel can continue to survive in the long term as a state in the Middle East if it is not prepared to deal with respect and consideration with its Arab neighbors specially the Palestinians,” Freeman, a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, said in an exclusive interview with Press TV.
In mid March, Freeman turned down Director of National Intelligence (NIC) Dennis C. Blair’s offer to be the chairman of the body.
His abrupt withdrawal came after Freeman, who described “Israeli violence against Palestinians” as a key barrier to Mideast peace, drew fire from the Israeli lobby.
“The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth,” he wrote in a statement after his withdrawal.”

“His abrupt withdrawal came after Freeman, who advocated and endoresed the use of the US military against peaceful protesters, drew fire from the Israeli lobby.”
