Any examples? I know he tends to judge various cultures, but a culture is not the same as a race. You knew that right?

Washington Post? Really... They're almost as bad as Huffington Post. Please post some other credible links on Milo's racism, that aren't "liberal" leaning.

The Nazis could easily have won the war, if Hitler wasn't insane and had settled for controlling mainland Europe west of Stalin. Only an idiot fights on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Idiots invades Russia during the winter. If Hitler had not betrayed Stalin, he could have held mainland Europe indefinitely.

If Hitler had not betrayed Stalin, Stalin would've betrayed Hitler. The non-agression pact was, for Hitler, supposed to be a chance to take care of the West first before invading Russia, and for Stalin, a chance to rebuild and re-organize his armies before taking on Hitler while Hitler beat up the west (who had just given him a massive cold shoulder in the negotiations prior to WWII). This was even largely recognized at the time.

Now even when I see a shot of scenery that's real, there's the thought in the back of my head that maybe it isn't.

Scenery in movies...what about people in the news? Which photo is real?

Almost everything in film and print has been processed since the day they were invented. Take any of your great Cinemascope epics from the past and try to find those mountainscapes in reality. They simply don't exist in real life, not to the level of detail that matters. Those images were filtered and processed like any other, just in a darkroom instead of a cubicle. The scenery in movies that has "impacted" you in the past never existed in nature. You were simply looking at a somebody's vision of what existed in reality.

If you were touched by the images, good...the director accomplished his goal. The transition to full CGI doesn't make those visions any more or less real than they ever were in the first place. It will, however, allow the director to reproduce his vision more accurately than having to suffice with adjusting what nature offers.

Special effect processing already happens to news footage before we see it. It just rarely get caught because the press is assumed to be the authoritative source.

Google "hindenburg survivors" perhaps? I mean, come on, there are links on the first results page! They might not give you the number of survivors, but they definitely confirm that there were some.
