Talk:Whitewash (censorship)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was under the impression that the use of the term 'whitewash' comes from the Matthew 23:27 - "Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you are just like whitewashed sepulchres, the outside of which pleases the eye, though inside they are full of dead men's bones and of all that is unclean."

This could be synonymous with euphemism in some cases.--HisSpaceResearch 08:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stalin adjusted the photographs with Lenin

Is it a Whitewash? He removed his opponents from the pictures and more general, even killing them - it's rather the Whitewash.Xx236 09:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
