CBC leaked emails tell reporters to not use 'terrorist' in Hamas coverage: 'This is opinion, not fact'
LIAR!
Hamas is officially declared and recognized as a terrorist group!
Hamas
Date added to the list: Nov. 27, 2002
Hamas, which stands for Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-Islamiya, is an “Islamist-nationalist terrorist organization” with the goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in Israel. The organization is responsible for “several hundred terrorist attacks” since 1990, according to Public Safety Canada.
Canada, the European Union and the United States classify Hamas as a terrorist group, while Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom only consider the group’s militant wing as a terrorist group.

I suppose CBC doesn't want to call ISIS a terrorist group either!

I think that is the correct thing to do when reporting factual information. Labels should be saved for opinion pieces. CBC has repeatedly reported that Hamas and ISIS have been designated terrorist organizations by Canada and most other western countries. That is factual, not opinion.
