CBC's Gender-Bender

by Mike Fegelman

Livni_2 Last we checked, Israel’s new foreign minister Tzipi Livni was a woman. But it seems the news-writers at CBC’s website didn’t get the memo.

Describing a planned meeting between Livni and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, CBC reported:

"Abbas will meet Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Sunday at the Egyptian resort of Sharm-el-Sheik. Both men will attend the World Economic Forum."

Shortly afterward, CBC amended the story to read:

"Abbas will meet Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Sunday at the Egyptian resort of Sharm-el-Sheik. Both will attend the World Economic Forum."
