"While Ms. Perez effectively covered the conflict between the OCDSB school board and the Capital Pride committee, the article would have benefited from including perspectives from more members of the OCDSB board, rather than solely focusing on Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth. For future coverage of this story, I recommend that CTV Ottawa include a broader range of interviews with other board members to provide a more balanced view."

"While the credentials of the guest were supposed to suffice in presenting a balanced view of a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, the interview ended up being one-sided and inaccurate."

"It is very clear that CTV News has closed itself off from having meaningful dialogue with its readers. Considering this lack of responsiveness and accountability, I am curious whether there is a more useful contact at CTV News. If so, please pass it on. Otherwise, I would appreciate a direct confirmation that CTV News is not interested in engaging with constructive feedback or improving its reporting practices."

"The ADL is not merely a Jewish advocacy organization but one that explicitly supports Israel’s Zionist project. It has a history of labeling Palestinian rights movements as antisemitic, conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Palestinian rights movements are demonstrating against Israel’s settler colonial project in Palestinian territories and its apartheid system, not against Judaism itself."

"You refer to the Hamas 1988 Charter to say that Hamas’ goal is the destruction of the state of Israel. Hamas adopted a new charter in 2017, which indicated its struggle against Zionists and does not call explicitly for the destruction of Israel, as you report."

"While you write that the Houthi drone strike in Tel Aviv was “deadly,” you omit to mention any details about Israel’s strikes in the port of Hodeida."

"First, while you merely give voice to Republican critics of the initiative, it would have been more appropriate to give other critics more space to make your article more balanced."

"I take issue with your claim that "Israeli forces advanced deeper into the Gaza Strip's largest city in pursuit of militants who had regrouped there, sending thousands of Palestinians fleeing on Monday from an area ravaged in the early weeks of the nine-month-long war." Your framing essentially justifies Israel's ground offensive as "pursuing militants" and fails to raise any skepticism or critical analysis of whether this statement by the Israeli military is factual. Palestinians are not “fleeing” because of militants; they are forcibly displaced because of Israel’s genocidal actions against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel’s direct actions have caused the mass displacement of Palestinians in the strip. It is crucial to include this context to inform the audience accurately."

"The framing of why the match drew protesters is problematic. You describe the pressure to boycott the game to be because of 'Israel’s invasion of Gaza in response to Hamas terrorism.' This is misleading. Israel's military invaded Gaza and then besieged the strip, and by omitting this context, you whitewash Israel’s genocidal actions against Palestinians in Gaza. Your sentence should read rather,'…Israel’s invasion and subsequent siege and genocide in Gaza.”

"The reality that is not detailed in the article is that Israel has been encircling the area and that it fired shells toward several houses and destroyed houses, leaving families trapped inside and unable to leave. Palestinians don’t have food. Some have been wounded, and ambulances have not been able to reach the area."
