In the wake of scandalous accusations from Travis Dhanraj, a now-former CBC anchor, alleging widespread and systemic bias at Canada’s publicly-funded broadcaster, Brodie Fenlon, general manager and editor in chief of CBC News, penned a column where he defended their editorial actions.

In his column, he claimed that CBC News took seriously the need for balance, writing that “the job of a CBC News journalist is to report facts, to proportionately surface the variety of viewpoints that exist about those facts, to provide context and counter narratives where they exist, and to ensure credible analysis is in the mix. The goal is to give you a 360-degree view of a story so you can draw your own conclusions.”

However, every day that CBC News reports on the ongoing Hamas-Israel war, it is evident that the broadcaster is not even remotely adhering to what Fenlon claims. CBC does not practice what it preaches.

In the July 14 episode of the CBC television program Morning Live, guest host Crystal Goomansingh (who was the subject of many HonestReporting Canada alerts for her shoddy broadcasts when she was with Global News), spent nearly 10 minutes covering the topic of humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.

Her guest, unsurprisingly, was a stridently anti-Israel commentator, Arwa Damon, founder of the International Network for Aid Relief and Assistance. During their conversation, Damon assailed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the Israeli-American backed aid group which has sent about 75 million meals into Gaza since its recent establishment, and has been the target of a smear campaign by pro-Palestinian activists eager to discredit it.

Damon lectured viewers about how aid ought to be delivered, saying there was no reason for GHF to be created, because Gaza had “humanitarian actors who are Fully capable of distributing humanitarian aid.”

This is both false and highly misleading. Even with the GHF in operation, other groups continue to deliver aid into Gaza. Furthermore, the reason why GHF was founded was precisely because of the failures of these other ‘humanitarian’ groups, under whose watch large amounts of aid were stolen by Hamas terrorists and sold on the black market to help fund their terrorism. In addition, weapons used to murder Israelis were smuggled in the aid deliveries.

Rather than address this well-documented reality, Damon simply pretended otherwise, denying it all and stating that it is a “false narrative” that “Hamas is stealing the aid and then selling it on the market.” Deny it all she might like, but even harsh critics of Israel like onetime Canadian ambassador to Israel Jon Allen have admitted that Hamas stole aid deliveries.

Damon’s comments included a baseless reference to Gaza’s supposedly “2.2 million starving people,” and that they all suffer from a “constant hunger,” points which Goomansingh notably ignored. In fact, not once during the conversation lasting more than eight minutes did the host ever challenge, correct or even offer context to anything that Damon said.

While Damon and Goomansingh promoted the false “starving people” myth, actual images from Gaza tell a very different story, where bakeries, restaurants and markets exist. Enough food is entering the territory to satisfy the needs of the population, despite attempts to concoct a total fiction for CBC News viewers.

Another notable omission during the segment was any mention of the dozens of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza, including both live people and the bodies of murdered hostages being cruelly kept by Palestinian terrorists.

The interview ended with Damon, speaking of Gazans, saying “all of them are exhausted.” This may be a rhetorical statement, but it is still comically wrong, and which Goomansingh let slide.

Hamas continues to exist, continues to set roadside bombs that murder Israeli soldiers, continues to hold hostages, and continues to fire rockets at Israel, despite a supposed shortage of fuel stated by Goomansingh, who said there was a “critical shortage.” Clearly, many in Gaza are not “exhausted” at all, but willing to keep fighting for the sake of holding a few dozen Israeli hostages.

Despite CBC News’ brass promising that the public broadcaster is fair and balanced, every day brings yet more evidence that this is not even remotely true.
