The Media Accountability Project  

Journalistically speaking, presenting inflated or misattributed figures as fact, without verification, is not only a violation of the core pillar of accuracy but also veers into the realm of propaganda. We therefore ask that CJAD 800 issue an on-air correction to address these two inaccuracies (the estimated date and death toll numbers) to ensure that listeners are provided with properly verified information.

"This baseless and inflammatory claim was presented without any journalistic qualification, counterpoint, or context about Amnesty’s findings. Presenting such a serious allegation without challenge fails the test of “full, fair, and proper presentation” and promotes a one-sided narrative on a matter of urgent public interest."

"By neglecting to include MPs who oppose Israel’s aggressive military operations, your report fails to meet basic standards of journalistic integrity that apply even in segments like this. The lack of balance deprives your audience of the basic context needed to understand the ongoing crisis and Canadian politicians’ views on it."

"That this suspect allegation was stated as fact is a clear violation of basic journalistic ethics and merits a prompt on-air correction."
