Inaccurate framing on investigation by Minister Pascale Déry

"For accuracy and transparency, I urge you to revise your terminology in future coverage of the investigation, referring instead to "the war on Gaza." An on-air correction is also warranted to address the impact of this misrepresentation on your audience, particularly Montreal's Arab and Jewish communities." Continue reading

 

Misleading framing of CEGEP investigation as "conflict in the Middle East"

"Please correct your inaccurate claim by referring to future broadcasts of this investigation in the context of  “Israel’s war on Gaza” and not the overly passive term “conflict in the Middle East.” I also believe that this deserves an on-air-correction as this framing is insulting to the many Arab-Canadians and Jewish-Canadians impacted by the war who live in Montreal and listen in to your broadcast daily."

Re: “Opinion: By giving in to threats, McGill sends a chilling message"

"A fair-minded column about free speech on campus should at least note Yousef’s numerous statements that promote violence against Muslims. Wiseman’s column reads as hollow and disingenuous. There are debates to be had about controversial speakers and free speech on campus, but Wiseman is exploiting these legitimate questions to lend legitimacy to professionalized Islamophobia."

One-sided reporting on pro-Palestine protests in CEGEPs

"This framing represents a one-sided reporting on the pro-Palestine protests happening. Generally, these protests are peaceful, yet they are often framed negatively, particularly by those seeking to discredit the movement. Though you mention that “spokespeople for Dawson and Vanier did not respond to requests for comment,” this does not absolve you from putting good faith effort to talk to students who are actually leading the pro-Palestine protests in CEGEPs."

Glarring omission of context in radio broadcast

"The accusation of alleged Hamas members in UNRWA has been proven baseless months ago. According to UNRWA themselves, they have not received any specific allegations regarding systemic diversion of aid in Gaza by Hamas or other armed groups. Should it be revealed to be the case, UNRWA has stated it would strongly condemn any diversion of humanitarian supplies. UNRWA's distribution of aid is implemented through a robust system of oversight and checks, ensuring the safety and appropriate use of the aid." Continue reading

 

Glaring misleading headline on Israel-Lebanon ceasefire

"The language used in headlines plays a critical role in shaping public perception. By framing the situation as a "tense ceasefire" rather than highlighting Israel's active violations, the headline misrepresents the situation and fails to hold Israel accountable for its violations." Continue reading

 

One-sided article on Lebanon-Israel ceasefire

"Your use of “Jerusalem” to refer to the Israeli government is simply an inaccurate interpretation of the terms of the agreement. I urge you to correct this factual mistake as soon as possible." Continue reading

 

Thanks for highlighting concerns of Surrey’s muslim community

Far too often, immigrant communities are exploited as rhetorical tools by conservative politicians who stoke fear and anti-immigrant sentiment. This is especially true regarding Arabs and Palestinians, who have been vilified during elections across North America this year. It's a relief to see journalists who still prioritize fairness and integrity. Continue reading

 

Mavel character also evokes the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre

"Given these points, I urge Game Rant to revise the article to include this critical context. Acknowledging that the character's name is tied to the Sabra and Shatila massacre is essential to understanding why Sabra is perceived as a symbol of anti-Palestinian propaganda." Continue reading

 

Thanks for clarifying "cars set afire" allegation in anti-NATO protest

"Your willingness to revisit initial assumptions is a commendable example of responsible journalism. As Hadi Hassan, a journalist with TVA reported, a tear gas grenade—a SKAT SHELL CS cartridge deployed by police—likely caused the vehicle fire. Video evidence and images by the reporter supports this possibility, and the SPVM itself stated the incident is under investigation."
