Tucker Carlson hosted prominent Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper on his Tucker Carlson podcast.

Julian Zelizer : Tucker Carlson's interview with Cooper was shocking, dismaying, disheartening.

He says the New York Times described Cooper as merely a “ Holocaust revisionist” rather than an outright denier.

Zelizer says he's arguing against all evidence that the most infamous genocide was not a plan to murder millions , but an accident.

David Frum : The New York Times's "Holocaust revisionist" headlines normalize denier's pretension to legitimacy.

He says they ignore gulf between starvation, which Cooper falsely claims, and mass murder.

Frum says the Times ’s "staggering, staining failure" to report accurately on the Holocaust in the years 1939-45 was most shameful episode in newspaper's long history.
