Though wildly interesting, I fail to understand what Holocaust deniers have to do with an Orwellian or non-Orwellian media.
Is it that "they", insert favorite crazy group, get free publicity for simply engaging in wild unsubstantiated speculation? This seems to be the fact of what happens. Crazy, inciteful stories get printed. If not, why do "they" do it?
Why does the media pick up on it? How are these strange non-events reported? What constitutes a critical mass for media reportage?
The World Ended Yesterday and Noone Has Yet Refuted It!
UPI Yesterday on Mt. Ararat a secret sect gathered to celebrate the end of the world. The sun went down, everything faded to black, and the world ended in less then one minute, said Harvey Wetbottom, PhD., spokesman for the sect. All the sect members gathered up their picnic lunches and marched down off the mountain, declaring that it was an absolute fact that the world ended yesterday. No one has so far proved otherwise although a group of scientists, The World Did Not End Coalition (WDNEC) is attempting to refute the claims of the no longer secret sect, World Ended International (WEI).
Stay tuned for late breaking news!

The Media is Not Orwellian.
