Factual errors about Dawson College MSA & vehicle fire in riot
"Reporting allegations as facts goes against the principles of responsible journalism. I urge you to correct this sentence to reflect that the claim of rioters setting cars alight is unproven and remains under investigation.

Re: “The left is exposing its moral inconsistencies”
"If the school had played an Arabic rendition of Baby Shark, would that, too, be deemed a “resistance song”? One could easily find Arabic songs about سلام (peace) accompanied by discussions on Gaza, given it’s a main news topic for many Arab-Canadians affected by the situation. This includes Arab students who attend Sir Robert Borden High School."

Glaring omissions and asymmetries in coverage of Israel-Lebanon
"It is remarkable that nowhere in the article does it mention the profound asymmetry in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in the past year. An October 13, 2024 Al-Jazeera report found that since October 7, Hezbollah and its allies attacked Israel 2,370 times, whereas Israel attacked Lebanon in the same period 11,238 times."

Misleading coverage of anti-NATO protest
"According to CTV News’ stated policies, your reporting is committed to accuracy, fairness, and completeness. However, this broadcast violated these principles by conflating separate events which led to a misrepresentation of facts. You amplified unsubstantiated claims of antisemitism without clear evidence. Furthermore, you failed to present a balanced narrative by excluding relevant voices and perspectives."

Reporting on Gaza’s death toll from Israel's genocide needs correction
"The claim that the Ministry of Health "does not distinguish between combatants and civilians" is misleading and gives the impression that most Palestinians killed by Israel are combatants when, in fact, the overwhelming majority are civilians. For over a year, Israel has been systematically targeting civilian infrastructure in occupied Gaza, falsely justifying these attacks by claiming that Hamas leaders are concealing weapons—a narrative the resistance has consistently denied."

Inaccurate claim in Montreal protest coverage needs correction
"Suggesting these clear acts of antisemitism were performed by numerous individuals, as opposed to one person, suggests to readers that these were widespread actions by pro-Palestine demonstrators. This, as you will understand, is neither fair nor accurate."

CBC has not informed readers about Israel’s occupation of Gaza
"In October of this year, I complained to CBC about not clearly stating that Gaza is occupied. Editors rejected the complaint. I asked CBC's Ombudsman to look at the case. He said he can not make decisions about omissions. How will CBC address these concerns?"

Concerns about coverage of Dawson college student strike in solidarity with occupied Gaza
"In contrast, the students’ demands, which focus on protesting Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza and standing in solidarity with Palestinians, are given relatively little attention. The article fails to provide substantial interviews with student leaders or adequately explore their motivations and goals."

Thanks for balanced coverage of Tammy Jakeman's resignation
"I commend your courageous effort to fact-check CIJA’s false accusations of antisemitism against Jackman and the different points of view you included on the difference between criticism of Israel and antisemitism.

Glaring one-sided article frames pro-Palestine student protests as violent - needs immediate revision
"I urge you to explain to your readers that for more than a year, Israel’s genocidal actions in occupied Gaza have led to the deaths of over 43,972 Palestinians, with many still trapped under the rubble of bombed homes and tents. The official death toll is now outdated, and the UN Human Rights Office's report indicates that a majority of the fatalities in the first six months of Israel’s genocidal actions in occupied Gaza were women and children."
