The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is bankrolled by Canadian taxpayers. Its objectivity has been questioned in light of the 1.4 billion dollars it receives annually from the government.
The story not only reveals suppression of truth at the CBC, but also a work environment which fosters antisemitism.
Israel is engaged in existential war; does this revelation about the CBC also suggest pro-Hamas sympathies? After all, “there exists a covert internal group overseeing CBC’s coverage of Israel, and that stories that are critical of the anti-Israel side are being actively suppressed? That’s news.”
“Covert internal group oversees CBC’s coverage of Israel”, by Warren Kinsella, Toronto Sun, April 3, 2024:
Canada’s state-funded national broadcaster has a secretive committee to oversee the network’s reporting on Israel — presumably to provide balance.
But Jews who work at the CBC say the network’s coverage isn’t balanced. At all.
Said one: “It’s depressing, I am afraid to speak up because I hear stories about my colleagues getting reprimanded. I feel like I am bashing my head against the wall.”
Another: “Jewish journalists aren’t being listened to. When ideas are being pitched, it falls on deaf ears. (Our) stories are being ignored.”
Now, the suggestion that Canada’s state-funded broadcaster has been less-than-fair to Israel, before and after the horrors of Oct. 7, isn’t particularly news. CBC refuses to describe the terrorist group Hamas as terrorists; it routinely accepts unverified casualty counts that come from Hamas; and, to cite just one example, it has refused — unlike other major media organizations — to apologize for falsely accusing Israel of bombing a hospital in Gaza City and killing hundreds.
For most Jews, CBC’s ongoing coverage of Israel can be fairly described by the Honest Reporting watchdog: “CBC News provides one-sided smears of Israel.”
The notion that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation tilts against Israel isn’t news, as noted. But the revelation that there exists a covert internal group overseeing CBC’s coverage of Israel, and that stories that are critical of the anti-Israel side are being actively suppressed? That’s news.
Consider these appalling facts from Jews who work within CBC:
— CBC News Network has not put the IDF on the air since before 2024.
— One anchor has been posting very anti-Israel posts on social media – behind a wall, so only a select few can see it.
— There’s no tracking of CBC coverage on perspectives — nor who is being put on the air…….

the growth of the anti-Jewish, pro-Islam perspective may seem hard to explain. Without direct evidence, i don’t mind drawing a tentative dotted line to one possible cause: oil money.

OIL MONEY and maybe DRUGS get my vote.

The slithering islamic takeover of our institutions,including our government ranks,is well known by the Canadian citizens. Time will come when the Canadian citizens must fight the islamic rot that has invaded our Canadian society and our government.

It appears that the CBC and NPR/PBS are working from the same side of the field; anti-Semitic made up and liberal libelist propaganda.
James Lincoln says
Exactly, Ray.

Who in Canada watches CBC, I bet more people work at the CBC than watch that channel

PMS Justine Trudump has ignored Islamist violence. He’s extended visas to terrorists excluded from US. He’s disarmed Canadians while invoking military powers against protestors.
If he ran a radio station its nickname would be “The Pussy”.
