Zündel’s Trials – False NewsDid Six Million Really Die?Zündel was found guilty in this first trial.On appeal, the Canadian Supreme Court
reversed the judgment, declaring on August 27, 1992, that the archaic "false news" law under which Zündel had been convicted was a violation of the country's Charter of Rights.
The “false news” law was struck down as unconstitutional

Abusing the InternetCanadian Human Rights Tribunal ordered
that Zündel, and any other individuals who act in the name of, or in concert with him, cease the discriminatory practise of communicating telephonically or causing to be communicated telephonically by means of the facilities of a telecommunication.

Citron v. Zündel
10:01:02 PM 10
Three ethical dilemmasIs there a room to ban Holocaust denial
tracts such as Did Six Million Really Died?; How should the media cover people like
Zündel who aim to manipulate their outlets? Was the CBC right in trying to be objective
about the issue at hand and in attempting to balance between a Holocaust survivor and a Holocaust denier?
10:01:03 PM 11
ConclusionProfessionalism v. ratingsHolocaust mixed with Holocaust denialSearching for the middle ground is falseMedia responsibility in exposing of hate
