CBC Leaked Email Tells Reporters Not to Use Term ‘Terrorists’ in Connection With Israel Attacks
Epoch Times ^ | 10/8/23 | Marnie Cathcart

A leaked email purportedly written by CBC's director of journalistic standards instructs reporters not to call those involved in the current attacks on Israel "terrorists." The email, dated Oct. 7, written by CBC's director of journalistic standards George Achi, says: “Do not refer to militants, soldiers, or anyone else as 'terrorists.' The notion of terrorism remains heavily politicized and is part of the story.”

“Even when quoting/clipping a government or a source referring to fighters as 'terrorists,' we should add context to ensure the audience understands this is opinion, not fact. That includes statements from the Canadian government and Canadian politicians,” Mr. Achi wrote.

CBC did not return requests for comment by The Epoch Times by press time.

What should they call it? A slight "incursion"?

I just bet that an Israeli response will be termed a terrorist act in no time at all.

A full-scale military attack. And should be treated as such.

The Palestinians have come a long way since planting explosives in a boy with Down's syndrome.

Because the new “terrorists” are peaceful Trump supporters.

The term “terrorist” should be abandoned, the correct term is and always has been “enemy soldier”.

I wouldn’t want anybody in the USA to imagine that very many people watch the CBC for news. It used to have a following but I understand it is barely 1% of the Canadian population who now tune in for news there; the other globalist networks are now more popular (and almost as bad as CBC). Network news is generally losing its appeal to many.

If there is opinion involved then news reports become editorials or opinion pieces.

It should only be applied to Canadian truckers refusing forced immunizations which are not immunizations.

They aren’t terrorists. They are foreign invaders.

We should do the same thing here and stop referring to our foreign invaders as “migrants.”

Anyone who sides with or whitewashes the crimes of terrorists, is a terrorist.

You cannot expect any black organization to get it right can you?

I don’t think so.

Canadian laws is:

Terrorism: In Canada, section 83.01 of the Criminal Code defines terrorism as an act committed “in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause” with the intention of intimidating the public “…with regard to its security, including its economic security, or compelling a person, a government or a domestic or an international organization to do or to refrain from doing any act.”

George Achi does not seem to know or care to follow his own law.
