Does anyone recall a post I wrote when I just came back from my break? About that idiot Ralph Blumenthal and his lie-packed article in Parade? Well, I wrote a letter to him and I thought I hadn't received a response. I had, but it was sent to my spam (and rightly so!). The response said, "This error has been long since corrected in an editor's note {and I already said this before, I was asking him to have the magazine put something in print}. As mentioned in the editor's note, this error was not mine."
So right away, with my temper (and excuse me for this next part), I thought, THEN WHO THE ^&$#'S error is it!!! Did the magazine just randomly type up some crap and slap your name on it?? Or did the magazine purposely make those stupid 'errors' only an idiot like the author could possibly make??? Is that idiot not the one wrote that stupid article???
I am sorry, that man is an idiot who purposely defames the Polish people, and nothing will change my mind.
augh.
ReplyDeleteyou have every right to be angry!
I noticed in that post that it said "Polish concentration camps", right? I wouldn't exactly say that it's purposeful, since it might just be laziness. I'm not defending laziness, but bad editing and rushed articles usually come up with problems. It could just be "Polish camps" because they were in Poland and Blumenthal decided that since they were in the country--regardless of who was running them--they were Polish.
ReplyDeleteGolden Eagle, that's no excuse. The magazine didn't even add an editor's note until 4 days after the article was published, when many people already notified them of the error the day it was published in print. They still haven't corrected the error in the printed magazine.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it couldn't just be Polish camps, because nothing like that exists. It is GERMAN camps. Also, Poland didn't exist on the maps at that time. The east was taken over by Nazi Germany and added to Germany. The rest of Poland was made into a seperate country still ruled by Germany. The Poles from the land Germany added to their own country were shipped west to the part that wasn't part of the country of Germany.
