- August 9 and 11, 2013: As we reported in our August 9 media action alert, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) upheld our concerns finding that CTV News breached the CBSC’s Code of Ethics by failing to issue on-air corrections to remedy its erroneously reporting that a Palestinian “hunger striker” died in an Israeli jail.
