One example, and the one most favored by Oliver in proving this point, is how The American Pageant describes communist spy Alger Hiss. Instead of explaining to students that Hiss was illicitly handing over American secrets to the Soviet Union, or the fact that Hiss was convicted of perjury in 1948, this revisionist textbook instead claims that Hiss was some kind of victim who was accused of "embarrassing falsehoods" by former President Richard Nixon, who's described as a "red hunter."
