"Also, the language in this paragraph makes it seem as if the person with the nail gun is a pro-Palestinian protestor, when, in fact, it is a person threatening the protestors.  You should rephrase, 'when a man allegedly brought a nail gun to a pro-Palestinian protest and fired it at demonstrators,' as 'when a bystander threatened pro-Palestinian protestors with a nail gun, firing it at demonstrators'."

"The role of good journalism is to present the news accurately in context, and not through a skewed lens.  The segment and Ms. Bergeron-Oliver’s choice of contextual information comes across as intent on downplaying the broad base of support for Palestinian independence and human rights.  I call on CTVNews to strike a better balance in future reporting." Continue reading

"Although I appreciate you giving voice to pro-Palestine protesters, please provide details about the situation in Gaza in future reporting, as it would help your viewers make more sense of the intentions behind the pro-Palestine protests and protesters." Continue reading

"You're not using fair or accurate terms and language to describe the scale and scope of the Palestinian refugee crisis in Rafah, caused by Israel’s genocidal campaign. They are not “hundreds of thousands of people” in Rafah, but 1.5 million Palestinians. This is close to 5 times Rafah’s population before October 7." Continue reading

"If you’re trying to please all the different voices that have opinions on this conflict, your report struck the perfect tone.  If you’re trying to do good journalism, you have fallen far short." Continue reading

"From what we know, there is no evidence to link incidents in synagogues to pro-Palestine protests. Pro-Palestine protests have also not targeted synagogues.

"Thank you once again for prioritizing Palestinian perspectives. Your commitment to fair and accurate reporting is vital, and I urge you to continue this critical work. I hope you will consider my critique in future reporting on Israel and Palestine." Continue reading

"Palestinians in Gaza are being targeted and killed by airstrikes, gunshots, and tanks, as well as fatal conditions that have caused death from lack of medicine, starvation, dehydration, and malnutrition. By using such words, you also absolve completely the reality of Gazans." Continue reading

"Is it appropriate to introduce a blockade of humanitarian aid as a ‘gathering’? Why does the anchor make sure to distinguish it from a hike, a picnic, or even a party? Are viewers really wondering if a group of Israeli citizens and settlers blockading aid from entering Gaza are part of a hike, a picnic, or a party?" Continue reading

"Thank you again for naming what many Canadians who have been protesting in the streets since October 7 know to be true. The humanitarian catastrophe that has emerged in the Gaza Strip is an Israeli made disaster. There is no time left for negotiation, charades or indecisiveness on the part of Western leaders such as President Biden. For the Palestinians, every moment and every meal counts and they are counting on us!" Continue reading
