Comments on "hero" Tito
[Letter as printed in the Holland Sentinel, 27 February 1980]
Before too long the American news media will have to give Tito's eulogy and I am sure that this eulogy, without consideration for the truth, will be full of superlatives about "hero" Tito.
I am sure that not many, except for some Yugoslavian and other east European immigrants, know that the real Yugoslavian hero during the time of the German occupation was the Serb General Mikhailovich. He, together with his fighting friends, was betrayed by England and the USA and, after a grotesque trial, Mikhailovich was murdered by Tito.
But, who cares about the truth in dirty politics? And who cares about the truth in news reporting?
