I was under the impression that Living Marxism did expose some shoddy journalism at ITN, that fact being promptly suppressed by the Brit mainstream media. LM went overboard in its criticisms and declared all Yugoslav genocide accusations fraudulent, likely out of service to its batty ideology, but its less wacko criticisms did get a bit of play here on FR in the good old days.

There were direct testimonies from professional journalists (Penny Marshall and Ian Williams from ITN and Ed Vulliamy from The Guardian) and hundreds of others in the following years, notably from former inmates and former perpetrators, which have secured several criminal convictions. Against all that evidence, a single propagandist called Thomas Deichmann, who wasn't there at the time but tried to "prove" that the prisoners were not prisoners by building a fallacious system of diversion around an irrelevant detail: whether a barbed wire fence at Trnopolje, a former factory turned into a concentration camp, was instrumental in preventing them from fleeing. The London trial exposed his bad faith, as well as the innate tendency of the fashionable left to support the cause of the worst criminals, as told here by Ed Vulliamy http://www.guardian.co.uk/itn/article/0,2763,184815,00.html You can also find a thorough and rather charitable analysis of Deichmann's claims here: http://www.virtual-security.net/attrocity/atrocity1.htm
