It’s about time! For two years, CBC radio and television viewers have been subjected to what I have repeatedly drawn attention to: biased, one-sided anti-Israel propaganda, disguised as news reporting and analysis.
The CBC, in covering the Gaza conflict, has … in my view … taken sides, favouring the terrorists.
We’re not complaining here about legitimate questioning, challenging or criticism of Israel’s actions or policies.
Only the almost complete absence of similar questioning, challenging or criticism of Hamas’ actions and policies.
As someone with 38 years’ experience in the “news” business, I believe ANYONE listening and watching CBC coverage of the Gaza conflict, with a basic sense of fairness, would easily discern the one-sidedness of Canada’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
I have written about it before:
Jan. 13, 2025: https://harveyoberfeld.ca/poilievre-should-pledge-to-purge-cbc-not-just-defund-it/:
June 9, 2025: https://harveyoberfeld.ca/history-will-condemn-medias-one-sided-anti-israel-coverage-of-the-gaza-war/:
Aug. 25, 2025: https://harveyoberfeld.ca/cbc-spending-salaries-raises-soar-while-viewership-plummets/.
CBC, in my view, has become a platform for Palestinian/Hamas supporters, sympathizers, activists to spew anything they want … including distortions, outright lies and rants (sometimes several minutes long) … targeting Israel, with little or NO challenge by acquiescent CBC hosts or supposed journalists.
Hamas officials’ claims, accusations and “statistics” are liberally regularly reported/quoted without any questioning/skepticism … often identified as coming from “Gaza health officials”, covering up their Hamas terrorist group connection/sources … while Israeli perspectives/explanations/evidence are downplayed/minimized, with their spokespersons given little airtime or just ignored.
And pay attention to the “analysts” and “experts” invited on CBC radio or television programs to comment following their slanted “news” stories and you will hear/see multitudes of anti-Israel criticism, even lengthy unchallenged diatribes, but be VERY hard pressed to hear/see invitees who defend/support or even explain Israeli actions/policies.
This is not reporting: it’s propaganda!
The CBC, I believe, has been carrying on its own “Jihad” against Israel for more than a year now … pushing the Palestinian side in the dispute and heavily weighting its “analysis”’ with one-sided anti-Israel critics.
And now, an independent UK-based analytical study confirms that CBC bias!
“CBC fed Canadians a biased view of the Israel-Hamas war — and the data proves it,” read the op-ed headline in The National Post last week.
“CBC headlines expressed sympathy toward Gaza nearly five times more often than toward Israel, while the articles themselves reflected a smaller, though still persistent, two-to-one imbalance.”
The analysis of 2,789 CBC online articles (between Oct. 7, 2023 and June 7, 2025) was carried out by an independent U.K.-based data analysis firm Innohives, in a study funded by Honest Reporting Canada, the Jewish media-monitoring organization.
“What our analysis shows is not a subtle or debatable pattern, but a structural one,” Innohives reported.
“Even more troubling is that after December 2023, Israeli civilians virtually disappeared from the narrative. Only a handful of direct quotations were allotted to telling their stories at all for the remainder of the war. This, at a time when over 100,000 Israelis had been displaced from their homes, the country was under sustained rocket fire and hostages were being held in tunnels while their families waited in anguish for news about their loved ones,” the British organization found.
(You can read the full National Post piece here: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/cbc-fed-canadians-a-biased-view-of-the-israel-hamas-war-and-the-data-proves-it.
As I have reported on this blog previously, the Honest Reporting Canada website (https://honestreporting.ca/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21514977015&gbraid=0AAAAADeEv8vEPUN8BsqzvlaBNEM-58ytk&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyZD7r7PLkgMVBBmtBh1bXA6yEAAYASAAEgLmZfD_BwE ) outlines a very disturbing litany of one-sided stories, unquestioned and unchallenged claims/accusations by anti-Israel propagandists on CBC radio and television broadcast from coast to coast to coast.
It’s hard to believe those in charge of the CBC today have read … let alone try to follow … the CBC’s own stated Broadcast Standards of “Accuracy, Fairness and Balance.”
In fact, last July I submitted a formal Complaint to CBC Ombudsman Maxime Bertrand after a guest on the program Power and Politics went totally unchallenged after accusing Israel of DELIBERATELY using a food distribution operation in Gaza as “bait” to attract Palestinians so they could “MASSACRE” them.
An outrageous accusation!! Yet, not even questioned!!! Disgraceful journalism! So I filed a complaint with CBC Ombudsman Maxime Bertrand.
The Ombudsman referred my submission to the show’s producer, who responded that CBC standards only “requires us to uphold the principles of accuracy, fairness and balance over time.”
Over time?
So I challenged the Ombudsman to “pick any dates before I filed my complaint …(three or four) and have your staff review the Gaza war coverage” by the CBC to see if the public network met its required responsibilities “over time.”
I was confident the CBC would be found guilty as hell of violating, even ignoring its own stated journalistic standards.!
The CBC Ombudsman’s response?
“My mandate as an ombud involves reviewing complaints about specific CBC news stories or programs.”
Not “over time”.
Think about that: the CBC producer says CBC standards must be looked at, not in single cases, but over time ; while the CBC ombudsman says she’s not allowed to look at coverage over time, but only specific instances.
A typical government bureaucracy Catch 22 cover-our-ass situation!
Given that Canadian taxpayers subsidize the CBC to the tune of $1.5 Billion each year, surely, a formal complaint of an outrageous on-air statement that maligns, slanders an entire nation and is broadcast to millions of possible viewers deserves more than a three-card-Monty style shuffle!
So I re-iterated my request that the Ombudsman proceed with a formal review of my specific complaint of the specific outrageous statement on the specific broadcast on the specific date in question.
That was last September.
I’m still waiting.
But now that an independent agency has found/documented and reported the CBC’s bias: what we need is action from the CBC board, the CRTC and the Mark Carney Liberal government to stop it.

George Orwell is no longer alive, so we can’t ask him if the quote “People will believe what the media tells them to believe” was his. Some claim he never said that. If that is the case, my information is incorrect. However, there is no doubt that he said the following: “In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.” I think we can all agree that if the media becomes an extension of the Party and only presents one side of an issue, that is detrimental to society.
(Response: Absolutely! That is what really bothers me about the CBC: I actually personally agree with some of the positions they take on very social issues, but as a journalist, I find it appalling, when any “reporter” abuses his listener or viewer by giving them only propaganda emphasizing only the points of view with which they personally agree. And when they use public funds to do it, in contravention of clearly stated policies, that must be stopped! Ho)
May I go off topic for a moment. I have been emotionally drained by the tragedy in Tumbler Ridge. Listening to the stories of the victims and families, listening to the father of Abel and the parents of Maya is heartbreaking. And listening to community members showing their compassion and support is inspirational.
I watched the vigil on CBC last night and the community leaders who spoke showed heartbreak but also strength and resilience. But I was also impressed by the federal and provincial politicians who spoke on behalf of not only themselves but for all of us.
And I found the commentary after it was over interesting. Can’t remember the exact words but one of the announcers commented on how non-partisan or non-political they had all been e.g. Carney inviting the leaders of the other parties to travel with him and Poilievre saying we are not coming here as “Conservatives or Liberals or NDP or Greens or Bloc Quebecois but as mothers and fathers”. And I immediately thought why would this be surprising. Anybody should be able shove their politics aside for moments like this.
But then I thought. Why can’t we do this more often. Why does it take a tragedy before we can work together. At one point in Poilievre’s speech I turned to my wife and said “I could like this guy.” But then next week, he will go back to being the smug, acid tongue politician and we will forget the humanity he has shown. Same probably applies to people who dislike Carney or Eby.
Over the next weeks we will probably get into debates about guns or mental health or helping families or any and all other issues facing the country. I just hope in some co-operative unified manner.
(Response: Sometimes it takes “reality” to shake us from our pre-conceived postures and realize that, behind our partisan positions, we’re ALL much the same … highly vulnerable, living in a world that can so quickly be totally shattered. Puts everything else in perspective. Ho)
I am going to try again. And I am not questioning your assertion that the CBC is being biased. I have no doubt that all news organizations frame their stories in some way that will come across as biased by people. The same story can even be considered biased by people on both sides of a particular issue. The media has always been criticized for its perceived bias but it has become much more prevalent in the last few years. “Fake News” is constantly used whenever a news story does not match people’s perception. People more and more are using online sources for their news and not just the mainstream media’s digital platforms. Misinformation is rampant on the internet. So my question: Who do we believe?
You have made the case that the CBC is biased against Israel. And your evidence is usually based on something from HonestReporting. According to its website “HonestReporting Canada is an independent grass-roots organization promoting fairness and accuracy in Canadian media coverage of Israel, the Middle East, and issues related to and affecting Canadian Jews.”
Nothing wrong about that, but they are specifically reporting on what they view as bias against Israel. I googled “media bias against Palestinians”. And it exists. Apparently (can’t find the exact source) the CBC Ombudsman has said that about 40% of the complaints he receives claim bias against Palestinians compared to 60% against Israel. .
So what is it? Is the CBC biased against Israel? Palestinians? Both? Neither? Who do we believe?
Having said that, when the CBC or other news media receives complaints they should be taken seriously and addressed appropriately.
Next question. You said that both sides of an issue should be treated fairly. I agree. But how far do we go with that. What is the media narrative on the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Are we giving enough coverage of Putin’s reasons for invading Ukraine? Is there any historical context provided? Are we worried about how many Russian soldiers are killed? No. We are worried about the Ukrainian citizens.
As for Gaza, I personally have stopped watching/listening/reading for information. I know what happened on Oct. 7 and I know what Hamas stands for and I know there is no justification for what they did. And some of the rhetoric coming from pro-Palestinian protests the day after the attack was disgusting. But by the end of 2023, I could see that Israel’s hope of destroying Hamas was an impossibility and they were doing themselves no favours by continuing to destroy Gaza and kill innocent citizens, especially children. And here we are over two years later with Gaza in rubble and some peace initiative led by a grifter looking to collect the spoils.
I don’t want to listen to quibbles about how much food is entering the region. If there are any families/kids in need that is the narrative. If some guy rants about how horrible Israel is, I stop listening. If Netanyahu or someone defending Israel comes on, I stop listening. I don’t care anymore unless someone is talking about viable solutions.
(Response: Again, my point is the CBC is supposedly REQUIRED to follow strict broadcast standards of fairness, balance etc… and anyone who watches it these days on a whole variety of controversial topics should be able to easily and quickly discern CBC today makes a mockery of those standards! CBC radio and TV, I believe strongly, is indeed the Unofficial Voice of the NDP …nothing more! It really needs a thorough house cleaning! Ho)
The only good thing about the CBC?
No one watches it.
Perhaps it’s time.
Take the CBC Vault of 75 years of shows and auction them off.
Auction off it’s TV, Radio, internet Licenses.
Sell all the CBC property, studio’s , equipment, etc.
Fire ALL the staff with notice, no severance.
Give them all notice based on their years of service up to a maximum of 2 years notice.
Written Notice that their job is redundant, as is the industry standard.
Bank the money of all the asset sales and use the interest to pay the pensions.
When the last CBC pensioner dies.
Roll the Assets back into the Canadian Debt.
(Response: I would not go that far. I believe the CBC could play an important role in linking Canadians together from coast to coast to coast. And also in covering news in smaller or rural communities that the private broadcasters often ignore. It just has to be cleansed if its activists who abuse their positions to push their own agendas! Ho)
Harvey, I believe you posted the dismal ratings for Global , CBC and CTV a year or so back.
Or estimates of the ratings since none of them release their numbers.
As I recall the CBC was deep deep deep in the basement of audience participants.
Any inkling of the numbers today?
(Response: Getting detailed radio/tv ratings in Canada is very difficult: unlike the US, they are considered “proprietary” information. However, from what I can gather … and this is what makes CBC so influential/dangerous … CBC, due to its massive broadcast facilities in both official languages spanning the entire country, reaches 80% of Canada’s population and “CBC News Network remains Canada’s most watched news channel”. That’s why it’s current one-sided propaganda mode is doing so much harm to the honest debate/formulation/exchange of ideas/opinions/information in Canada.
Some notes from the Internet:
” Federal Election (April 2025): CBC achieved its highest-ever digital day on April 28, with 3.5 million hours spent on its platforms. The election special was streamed 5.2 million times, a 127% increase in video views over the 2021 election.
Tariff Crisis Coverage (Feb 2025): From Feb 1–3, CBC News Network was the top English news channel, reaching 4.5 million viewers. The National saw its second-highest viewership of the season on Feb 3.
Digital Growth: CBC News apps and websites reached 4 million unique users on Feb 3, 2025.
Linear Television: While digital boomed, linear TV faced challenges; one report indicated a 5% share of prime-time evening television.
Radio Leadership: CBC Radio One secured the #1 spot for adults in major markets, including Halifax (21.0% share), Ottawa-Gatineau (21.7% share), and Victoria (24.8% share) in 2025.
Trust Ratings: Pollara Strategic Insights ranked CBC/Radio-Canada as the second most trusted news source (72% trust) in 2025.
While competitors like CTV led in total conventional network viewership for election night (1.2 million average), CBC dominated in digital, streaming, and specialized, breaking-news, event-driven coverage.”
Ironically, today, the same day you posed your query, Honest Reporting Canada, issued the following Press Release:
” On February 3, 17 CBC radio programs across Canada – from British Columbia to Newfoundland – conducted uncritical interviews with two representatives of a hardline anti-Israel activist group, Save the Children Canada.
At no time were Patrick Robitaille or Roula Kikhia’s claims challenged, nor were Israeli voices given any voice at all. Yet again, CBC has shown that it is not driven by the journalistic standards of fairness and balance, but instead of who can present a particular message.
“A trio of reports by CBC News Senior Reporter Raffy Boudjikanian yet again demonstrated a pattern of selective framing that consistently advances anti-Israel narratives uncritically.
“All three reports used as their foundation claims and complaints from radical groups, which Boudjikanian then transformed into ‘news’ reports, all from the lens of those same complainants.
“On the February 4 episode of the CBC radio program As It Happens, host Nil Köksal interviewed a Gazan woman, Mona Alabsi, about the reopening of the Rafah aid crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
“Like nearly 20 interviews the same day throughout CBC radio programs, the conversation was brutally one-sided and devoid of much context. Israel was framed as the villain, Palestinian terrorists were airbrushed out, no Israeli voice was anywhere to be heard, and the guests faced no challenge in the slightest, no matter their claims.”
Wow!
Now, if any of this is not true, CBC should say so and/or take action. But there are more than 100 such complaints now re CBC ..plus the independent UK study I cited …so it sure looks to me where there’s so much smoke, there must be a roaring blaze of one-sided anti-Israel bias (hate?) being promulgated on Canada’s national broadcaster! Why is it going unchallenged by the CBC brass, the CRTC and the Liberal federal government??? SHAME!!! Ho)
Communist Broadcasting Channel Kompromat comes to mind….
This may sound like I am defending the CBC but I am not. Have at ’em. What I am curious about is our own biases and how that will taint our own views of the news we read.
For example: Gilbert quotes George Orwell “people will believe what the media tells them to believe.” (Where did he get that quote because there is no record anywhere of George Orwell saying that. But that is a quibble.) Let’s assume that the statement is correct. What media is he or you or me or anyone else here consuming and how do we know that our media of choice isn’t just making us believe what they want us to believe?
So I agree with RIsaak when he challenges us to read as many sources as possible although who has the time.
‘Cause we don’t have the time. He said that he read 5 sources on Tumbler Ridge and only the CBC didn’t mention the shooter as trans. He may be correct about the articles he read, but I had CBC on all day yesterday and I heard them. Here’s a video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxSZgq6yb3gRecent
And there are CBC articles online that include that information.
Now I don’t know if they were later than others giving us that information but I knew the shooter’s gender identity before the police statement because it was all over facebook the night before. And the comments were ugly. The CBC has an online article addressing that.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tumbler-ridge-shooting-trans-community-false-claims-9.7085078
As I said I had CBC on all day yesterday. The stories were all about the people of the town and how they are coping and grieving and supporting one another. CBC journalism at its best. I am not a particularly emotional guy, and maybe this just hit too close for a resident of another small northern town, but I was feeling it more than usual. The shooter, the motive, the red flags, the weapons – all things that seem to be emphasized after similar (American) tragedies – can wait for at least a few days.
(I was going to address the bias by CBC and others in reference to Gaza but right now, I think it can wait as well.)
(Response: of course, we all have our own biases. However, it is the duty of any serious journalist, working on a story or producing a program on any topic to ensure that both or multiple sides of the issue are given balance. Whether you agree with a CBC‘s pro Palestinian stance that I believe is so obvious if you watch their coverage and their interviews re-Gaza with a critical eye… That is not the point. You are entitled to your own point of view. However, as the public broadcaster, CBC has a special responsibility to put out the facts as seen by various perspectives equally and let their listeners or their viewers decide. What I hear and see now when I tune it in is just one sided, anti-Israel, often bigoted coverage. In fact, I would go so far as to say in my opinion, the CBC actually contributes to the growth of antisemitism in Canada. And it’s about time that the CBC Board of Directors, the CRTC or the federal government do something to restore the CBC to its former fairer self. Ho)
CBC, serial liars by omission!
Any story which is not supported by the “Rose Barton” club of closet Commies gets facts omitted. Today I just read 5 Canadian news source’s stories on the Tumbler Ridge school shooting. Interestingly enough, CBC was the only one which did not identify the shooter as transgender or transitioning? A 13 paragraph story, written by Courtney Dickson, who edited it? Who said, “Don’t mention the transition”?
Be the topic, Israel, sexual orientation, criminal sentencing, Immigration, Post secondary funding, CBC executive salaries, and a few others, CBC can be counted upon to color the facts or simply omit them.
I’ve been reading CBC lately just to see how biased they really are when compared to other news outlets. Sadly, the truth is the most victimized item on CBC’s coverage.
I challenge others to read objectively 5 differing news sources, daily. Read the same stories from all 5 and then compare, I doubt your results will vary from mine.
Shout out to my new favorite news source, Castanet.
(Response: You are very perceptive in mentioning the problem of “omission” in how the news is reported these days. I see it as a real problem on many news outlets, but especially the CBC: on too many sensitive issues (abortion, trans-gender, First Nations and Gaza) I find the CBC takes sides (far left) and listeners/viewers would be very hard pressed to hear/see opposing points of view … or balance, especially in those they “interview” … and often let rant at length, without any challenge or serious journalistic questioning.! Most people don’t notice that, though. On the Gaza conflict, the CBC (CTV/Global too) give huge coverage to Israeli strikes on Gaza and run lots of Palestinian-supplied viz/interviews of civilian victims… but fail miserably at reporting Israel’s reasons for the actions, including names/ranks of the actual terrorists hit (who surrounded themselves with innocents), drone videos showing the armed terrorists advancing on IDF troops before being taken out or even Israeli reservists killed/wounded since the “ceasefire”. Ho)
Oh the CBC, yesterday’s news rehashed to again bore the people.
I don’t listen, no point, as amateur hour type programing is long stale dated. They are so politically correct, the CBC has become more of a cliche, than anything else.
Adios!
CBC Radio and Television is so biased and so left-wing I don’t watch or listen. Many people don’t like the Israeli PM, and it’s clear that there are extremists on both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, it is the duty of the CBC to be neutral and report both sides of the conflict.
Sadly, there are people who rarely question what they are told. The media has a lot of influcnce, and it can definitely affect people’s views of a particular topic. As George Orwell once said, “people will believe what the media tells them to believe.”
During the last federal election campaign, it was obvious that the network wanted the Liberals to win. That wouldn’t surprise me if we were in the former Soviet Union, but in Canada there should be more support for democracy, free speech and neutrality in a state broadcaster. I understand that the network doesn’t want to bite the hand that feeds it, but I suspect it would have more viewers if it weren’t so biased. This applies to Israel and many other topics.
(Response: it is, or should be, the very basic ingredient in telling a story that both sides are presented fairly and accurately. The CBC has, in my view, long ago abandoned that concept on many topics… opting for an advocacy slant, which is not fair to people who have different ideas and also not fair to Canadians taxpayers who fund them or to
their potential much larger audience of listeners or viewers. Ho)?
My pet peeve is the CBC …so left leaning it is unreal … we pay millions of taxpayers dollars for this kind of coverage!! I think it is about time the government should stop handing out the dollars and the CBC get funding the way non-profit organizations do. See who donates! I don’t read anything CBC or listen to or watch any CBC. Thank gawd for independent CHEK TV on the Island .. mostly local though their coverage of major events they get from CBC TV.
(Response:Because there are no controls… or at least seem to be none … the far left activists at CBC seem to me to be becoming more extreme. I am told a recent Kids News segment featured educational problems facing kids in Gaza! Really??? Are there not enough topics re kids in rural BC or Tuktoyaktuk or Labrador? Kids in Gaza! Of course, from what I am told, the segment portrayed the Israelis as aggressors, ruining the kids’ lives … omitting of course any references to the attacks or murders (of not only tied up Israeli and Thai hostages but many Palestinians as well) carried by Hamas. This really has to be brought under control by the CBC Board (maybe they ARE the problem?) or the government or the CRTC. Ho)
We all have our biases and what we see or read is going to viewed through our own biases. For example, I don’t view the CBC as negatively as you do. (e.g. They are not the unofficial arm of the NDP) Some people here read the National Post and will likely claim that NP is not as biased as I think they are. Why is that? If a news organization is as biased as one claims shouldn’t it be clear to everybody in the same way.
So first off, I am acknowledging that the CBC has a bias (left leaning and sympathetic toward the Palestinians although not pro-Hamas and not anti-Israel). You can disagree with me but that is not the point here. I want to show you how my thinking goes when I read an article that you linked from The National Post titled
“CBC fed Canadians a biased view of the Israel-Hamas war — and the data proves it”
My first question is what data? The report was commissioned by Honest Reporting which has a pro-Israel bias and done by a company called InnoHives. So let’s google Innohives which turns out to be “a UK-based research firm and AI startup specializing in media analysis, known for using artificial intelligence and data science to examine large volumes of media content to measure whether media coverage is sympathetic towards specific sides in a conflict.”
So it uses AI to gauge sympathy. How was that done. Is a headline that reads “62 Palestinians killed in rocket fire” sympathetic or neutral. I have no clue. To me that is a neutral fact but I guess I would feel sad reading it, so sympathetic?
My next question was how else was this report covered. Besides The National Post I didn’t find much, only The Toronto Sun and one from a online site called Canadian Affairs.
I found the Canadian Affairs article interesting. The National Post had an op-ed from a writer from Honest Reporting. Canadian Affairs used its own reporter to summarize the report and then question it by interviewing a journalism professor, a CEO at Innohives and the head of public affairs at CBC.
The innohives CEO emphasized the headlines vs the actual story. The headlines were more sympathetic to Palestinians while the stories were more neutral. In our online world, headlines are often just scrolled past without stopping to read so editors and headline writers need to be more careful. The journalism professor had some interesting questions about the report. I think it is well worth the few minutes it will take to read.
https://www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/01/16/does-the-cbcs-israel-hamas-coverage-favour-palestinians/
Now here is my last question. Which article is the more biased or informative or whatever: The one from the National Post that printed an op-ed from a person from Honest Reporting or the article from Canadian Affairs which left some doubt about the reports findings. I am guessing the answer will be determined by our bias toward the CBC.
Again, I am not trying to defend the CBC. I like it. It is my main source of news. I think its reporting both TV and online is top notch. They are factual. But they also have a reputation, fair or not, of being biased. They definitely have to do a better job of convincing some Canadians that their reporting is fair.
(Response: Actually, on this blog, I have defended the CBC: I don’t want it totally defunded; I have repeatedly pointed out it covers parts of Canada that private broadcasters don’t service; and as private corporations continue to decimate their news operations, the CBC can play a vital role in covering local news. My problem is I expect …no, I demand as a taxpayer … it live up to its stated broadcast standards… especially fairness and balance. Sadly, more and more recently, I find it has not … instead just being one-sided left-supporting propaganda .. whether it is covering the abortion/right to life; gay/transgender issues; First Nations … and especially the Gaza conflict, where it has become just so one-sided, so biased, I believe the CBC has contributed to the growth of anti-Semitism in Canada. I’d bet viewers depending on the CBC wouldn’t even know that more than 1,000 IDF soldiers/police have been killed during the fighting (do they not also have funerals, grieving families?) or that 20,000 Israeli soldiers have been wounded during the war. And surely, ANY true journalist has a duty to challenge, question guests, activists, clearly biased “experts” when they make absolutely outrageous claims, like the Israelis set up food distribution operations …not to aid the starving civilians .. but to to deliberately “massacre” them when they showed up. That’s the kind of crud I’d expect on Iranian TV or Al Jazeera, but we must not tolerate on the CBC! Ho)
Why would they have to change when they are the propaganda tool of the Liberal party and if you haven’t noticed that party tends to be anti-Semitic at the best of times? Given the billions they get from taxpayers like you and me, they don’t have to account to anybody at anytime. Unless we get a change of government, please do NOT expect anything to change. It won’t.
(Response: I keep hoping the squeaking wheel will eventually get attention ….so I keep squeaking. And I hope other Canadians, regardless of their politics, but with a sense of fairness, will object to their MP and the PM that public funds MUST not be used to promote such one-sided “journalism”. Ho)
