CBC Radio’s "World at Six" made a $49.5 million error last night. In a report about Canadian assistance to Lebanon, host Martina Fitzgerald reported:
"Canada will contribute $25-million over two years to help rebuild Lebanon… Today?s pledge is in addition to the $55-million already promised to assist Lebanon in rebuilding." (Click button below to listen.)
The problem? As CBC reported elsewhere, the previous pledge was $5.5 million, not $55 million.
