Another example of why more and more people have less faith in traditional media.
I'm NDP, I support the CBC, I think everything should be owned and controlled by the public ... I'm socially minded and that the world should be more equitable place for everyone regardless of wealth and status.
But to see the CBC dive further into this hole and it makes me wonder if the operators of this public broadcaster are the ones that actively want it to be eroded and eliminated.
If this story occured in any other part of the world with any other country other than Israel ... there would be no debate and no confusion as to how to report it.
IIRC, this is largely the case with the BBC and how it's quality and relevance has diminished over the years: wolves were put in charge of the henhouse.
Eta: my point: it wouldn't be the first time a formerly respected public broadcaster had it's reputation undermined and (eventually) ruined. If we want to keep it, we have to get people out to vote: nothing we can do until the next election, but in the meantime, we can point to it and say "you enjoy the CBC? What about the radio version? D'you like knowing that such-and-such is a scam because of a CBC Marketplace piece?" (IIRC marketplace does those types of pieces)" and relate it to people on a personal level.
