On Christmas Day, this news item:
Israeli serviceman shoots 5yo Palestinian in the face
Did CBC.ca think it worthy of reporting? I scanned CBC.ca for the next several days and there is no mention of this.
Let's do a thought experiment: If an Israeli 5-year old had been attacked and harmed like this, would CBC.ca not treat it as headline news?? Probably, it would.
Just as CBC ignored the Israeli car that killed a 5 year old in the West Bank and gave headline coverage to the Jewish child killed by car by a Palestinian in Jerusalem just a week later, it is only news when Jewish children are hurt.
Is it really just a coincidence that all the people responsible for so-called "journalist ethics" at CBC.ca are Jewish, and this kind of imbalanced coverage is happening???
