In response to complaints about its coverage, CBC says Israeli state violence is different than Hamas’ violence because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”
In a letter responding to a complaint filed by a reader, the public broadcaster acknowledged that they’ve used terms like “murderous,” “vicious,” “brutal,” “massacre,” and “slaughter” to refer only to Hamas’s attack on Israelis on Oct. 7.
But when it comes to the Israeli army’s bombing of Palestinians, which has killed more than 22,600 people as of Friday, CBC says they prefer to use terms like “intensive,” “unrelenting,” and “punishing.”
It sucks that Canada doesn’t have anything like AP News. Like, just give me the facts, don’t tell me how to feel about them.
Anything that tells you how to feel about things is no longer news in my view. It’s opinion pieces.
There’s a word for it: propaganda.
It always has been, but people have forgotten.
CBC’s issue is that it does not tell you how to feel. That’s the point here. Did you miss that?
And for AP news. We have … The AP.
Really?
Like the Canadian Press?
