"Too often, mainstream coverage relies on passive voice—phrases like “more than 48,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza”—which misleads readers into believing Palestinian deaths occurred in a vacuum. This erasure numbs the public to Israel’s ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity, reducing Palestinian deaths to mere statistics and shielding Israel from scrutiny and accountability."

"Mendicino’s refusal to distance himself from Weinstein, even after being confronted about these ties, raises serious concerns about his political judgment and ethical fitness for such a high-ranking role. It is extremely concerning that your report glanced over Mr. Mendocino’s support of the JDL."

"This is not an isolated case; it reflects a broader systemic pattern in which activists who expose systemic discrimination are targeted with smear campaigns meant to intimidate and silence them. Yet, despite the backlash, Elghawaby refuses to be silenced. She released The Canadian Guide to Understanding and Combating Islamophobia at a time when acknowledging Islamophobia is met with hostility." Continue reading

"While it is true that civilians were killed at the Nova music festival, the attack occurred across multiple locations, including military bases and settlements near the Gaza border. By narrowing the focus to a music festival, the article distorts the broader context of the attack and implies that it was solely an assault on a cultural event rather than part of a larger confrontation between Hamas and Israel."

"The lack of clarity surrounding his alleged offenses, coupled with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s failure to specify any crimes Khalil committed, raises serious concerns about the criminalization of pro-Palestinian advocacy, the suppression of student activism, and the use of immigration policies as a tool to silence political dissent."

"We expect that any reasonable reader would agree that it is reductive, misleading, and untrue to summarize the language used in the definition as “any criticism.” To be clear, there are many opinions expressed in Hopper’s article that we disagree with, but would not challenge because they are clearly expressed as opinions. Unfortunately, this particular claim is stated as fact, and even uses language like “technically deems” to reinforce the notion that the sentiment is not an opinion, but being stated as if factual. We therefore request the article to be updated to resolve this issue." Continue reading

"In Le, a young racialised man was unlawfully detained in his own backyard, highlighting how the perception of criminality is often tied to race and identity rather than actual behavior. Herrington’s detention follows the same troubling logic — where wearing a keffiyeh is enough to warrant suspicion, mirroring the way racialised individuals are disproportionately stopped for simply existing in public spaces."

"Your reporting failed to provide adequate scrutiny expected from reporters on Mendicino’s political record. The segment in question vaguely references “mixed reactions” to Mendicino’s appointment within the Liberal caucus but does not delve into his extensive history of anti-Palestinian rhetoric and policies. Your report merely states that he was a “strong advocate for Israel following the October 7 attacks,” an overly neutral phrasing that conceals the full extent of his record." Continue reading

"Referencing them as loyalists is inaccurate and contributes to a sectarian narrative that pits different religious communities in Syria against each other without evidence of such being the case." Continue reading

"While your coverage mentions Israel’s blockade on the occupied Gaza Strip, it fails to mention that this practice constitutes a crime against humanity, defying one of the six provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in January 2024, which explicitly requires Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza (Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip [South Africa v. Israel], Order of 26 January 2024)." Continue reading
