CBC News world, and in particular BBC news retransmission at 6 weeknights, has been my main source of information since the beginning of conflict between Lebanon and Israel. But Sunday night, at the peak of their audience, "Cbc News - Sunday Night" presented a news bulletin that I wouldn't call unobjective but plainly propagandist. Everything was pro-israel, excuses for what was called a mistake on Qana, demonstration of how charity work for Hezbollah is only for the purpose of creating new combattants. It went on all night. And one of the most interesting biased news was the covering of the march for Lebanon's support, organised in Montreal. Since I was part of that crowd, i know it didn't happen this way. They showed it as it was a demonstration of hatred and violence, saying that it caused traffic jam (on a sunday? who cares?) and that "the demonstration turned ugly". This is so far from the truth. Not only the incident that happened was isolated but they only showed a "Israel's supporter" being hit. What they didn't show is that same Israel's supporter screaming at the crowd and giving both fingers to provoke the protesters. Is the CBC becoming the canadian Fox news? Why the segment showing the provocation was cut? Was it deliberate? I invite you to compare the two reports from two different channels, take a look at how Global news treated the subject, see the provocation and judge for yourself. Better yet, take a look at my filming of the street demonstration, and let me know if there's any sign of mob anger. The march itself lasted about 30 minutes.
