Context needed on Iran coverage

"The article reports that 'at least 7,015 people have been killed' in Iran’s protest crackdown, citing the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), while acknowledging that the AP has been unable to independently verify the toll.

Glaring conflict of interest with Ben Mulroney's interview of John Bolton on the West Block

"A journalist ought to ask some clarifying questions about these comments, but Mulroney doesn’t. Given that he is an ambassador for a pro-Israel lobby organization, and the West Block no longer seems to have segments focused on Palestine or Israel since Mulroney joined, it appears to CJPME that Mulroney either cannot ask these questions or is unwilling to given these extreme conflicts."
