Comments of the CJPME Media Researcher:
(Note: Please do not copy and paste the material below as the content to your message to the media - put all comments in your own words):
Please help us challenge this one-sided segment by CTV News Montreal at 6.
- The segment presents pro-Palestine supporters and their actions in a negative light and excludes their voices. Pro-Israel supporters are covered positively and they are interviewed, defining the narrative.
- The host refers to posters in Montreal's metros as "pro-Hamas posters" even though the posters call for a ceasefire. CTV News Montreal is lying. They are inflaming the situation by misrepresenting the reality of what the posters actually say.
- The segment concludes by discussing a banner in Montreal that portrays Israeli hostages. The inclusion of this imagery, while excluding Palestinian victims, only solidifies the clear bias of the segment.
