The great erasure continues, and it’s looking more and more like an attempt to rewrite erase factual history. A snippet from the report at CNN (emphasis added):
At least half a dozen articles already removed are about the Holocaust and now have the word “DEI” in their URL.
Those include an article about Holocaust survivor Kitty Saks, which remembers the Holocaust as “the state-sponsored, systemic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry”; an article about Holocaust Remembrance Week; and an article titled “A Cadet’s Perspective: Holocaust Days of Remembrance.”

David talks with Bill Adair, Professor of Journalism and Public Policy at Duke University and founder of the fact-checking site PolitiFact, about the proliferation of lies and lying liars and about news media’s refusal failure to call them out.
