It could have made a dramatic difference. Most nations had no idea about the genocide until the close of the war. It may have mobilized opposition worldwide. I think the point being made however is that the mass media is unable to offer real information any longer without risk to their ratings and accusations of bias. CNN=FOX, I can almost no longer tell them apart. The internet does offer the possibility of discussion but many times partisan diatribe is used to squelch actual information, balance many times skews reality or as Steven Colbert said on the daily show (about the reading of the names of the dead soldiers in Iraq): "How can this information be unbiased when the facts themselves are biased against President Bush."
There were many american apologists for the Nazis including Lindbergh and Phillip Johnson, they would be logging on, telling you what a super guy Hitler was and how he only invaded Poland because of their links to terrorists.
