Young, you missed his point, he said "But as to an honest, objective historian being a propaganda shill, that is pure crap." Note, he specified "honest, objective historian". All te folks you mentioned are pretty much propaganda shills, or at best, seriously lacking in objectivity. Good history is hard to do. Heck, that's what makes reading the front page of the daily newspaper so much fun, trying to find the spin.
