Katyn comparison

@Volunteer Marek: I agree the comparison is loaded, but I don't see why we cannot say that some sources (reliable Polish newspapers like [1], [2]) do make such a comparison. We are not here to judge, but to describe the world. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If such a comparison was being made in academic and scholarly sources I'd agree with you. But here it's just yellow journalism and cheap sensationalism intended to sell papers. We do have to do some judging - editorial judgment does play a role. So I think WP:UNDUE applies.Volunteer Marek (talk) 06:34, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it is sensationalist, but those are articles from mainstream, reliable press. Still, I agree it is not necessary for us to discuss their titles, which is what this mostly is. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
