KINSELLA: Jewish journalists outraged by CBC's activism | Toronto Sun

The Toronto Sun has learned that CBC management has convened “listening sessions” for staff in the coming days – and the sessions are being led by “facilitators” who say they want to “challenge the status quo of Zionism,” who say Israel oversees “an immoral and oppressive occupation” – and one of whom has said he “wholeheartedly, unreservedly supports” an Ontario politician who has been sanctioned for anti-Semitic views in the provincial Legislature.

The “listening sessions” have left Jewish journalists feeling outraged.

Said one: “Many of us Jewish journalists have spent our entire careers committed to fairness and making sure that the work we put out is balanced, and that it’s backed up by journalistic ethics. And what we’ve seen within the last number of years is a pivot within the CBC from journalism to activism.”

Despite that, the CBC’s top spokesman, Chuck Thompson, was dismissive when asked about the sessions: “Respectfully, whatever meetings or sessions we may be having with employees are just that, they’re internal.”

Do you lefties get it now? There is NO SAVING The cbc.  They are activists, not journalists.  They are hate spewing people with an agenda. 

And we're paying for it. 

Polievre should go beyond defunding them to just out and out decommissioning them altogether.  Shut it down.  It is not a 'state' broadcaster, it's a "statist" broadcaster
