My gripe over sources in TG videos (WAH 69)

Doherty: Was Hollywood's Famed Censor an Antisemite?

Thought to make this link public, in response to TG’s latest video.

Racism of the US Army - Fighting for Freedom? - WW2 Special

Disclaimer: I have discussed this video with a friend of mine and history buff from Georgia whom I shall call JD at his request and this is what we thought of the video. We thought it would be a neutral take on segregation in the United States. Little did we realize how disappointed we would be. I won’t be discussing minor mistakes, like his pronunciations of certain names, because the content matters more here. And at the end, I would suggest improvements to the video (this entire post should…

WAH 63: Presenting Propaganda as facts?

“On June the 5th the New York times assesses the damage in the Ruhr area so far. {The Allied Raids of the past few week had paralyzed the whole area, which is still ablaze in places. […] Between Cologne and Hanover were seen extensive devastated areas. The smoke from the many factory chimneys has been replaced by another variety, thick and very often yellowih, almost asphyxiating because of the phosphoric smell of the British incendiaries. The inundations due to the mining of the Eder and Möhne …

And it is just not this one.For eg in WAH 43, Sparty skips out a bunch of stuff just to make it as Indian National Congress good, British bad. Here is a quick rundown, in 1937 Provincial Elections are held in 11 British Provinces and the INC wins 8 provinces. Then on 3 September 1939, Lord LithLithgow declares war on Germany without asking anyone… no seriously, anyone. Not the legislative council, nor congress, nor the excecutive council. The congress views this as betrayal that they were not consulted and they all resign on September 26 which the British view as Betrayal, that the Congress did not give it’s support in it’s time of need and things keep spiraling down from there. (Again… waaaaaaay oversimplified). There is no mention of this in that episode. ( I do plan to make one on that episode… but I am lazy. So expect it in one year or so)

Further more, in the WAH 67 one he basically blames it on Linlithgow for not providing food to the bengalis and let them starve (I can’t find the transcript button, because youtube changed their layout again) which is contrary to evidence.

And the source is using is probably Hungry Bengal: War, Famine and the End of Empire, (I can’t tell because they have stopped updating their sources after 1941) which is from a Bengali Author. The only problem is that Bengalis are more inclined towards their own state and may make up evidence or select evidence. Disclaimer : No, I am not being racist here.

What has become more and more evident is that they change stuff they don’t like. For eg :

• Bulgaria deported jews which is waay more complicated (check this out post by obiwanbul for more info WAH 055 Betrayed its own principles )

• America was very racist. It was but not to the extent they have said and so on.

Look, none of us are rooting for them to fail. It is OK to make mistakes, we are humans after all. But one should acknowledge their mistake, learn from it and not do it again. All that we ask from Timeghost to not push an agenda but tell actual history.
