Anti-Palestinian alt-right fringe group cosplaying as journalist spotlight the hard work of CJPME
In a recent article, "CBC caves to far-left pressure, issues 'correction' on Israel-Hamas 'genocide' claim," Rebel News inadvertently acknowledged the impact of CJPME’s Media Accountability Project (MAP) in pushing CBC toward greater accountability in its coverage of Palestine
The article confirms that MAP’s advocacy led CBC to clarify its editorial stance on the term genocide when describing Israel’s actions in Gaza. While Rebel News framed this as CBC capitulating to “anti-Israel pressure,” the reality is that our efforts successfully challenged CBC’s editorial policies, ensuring that Palestinian voices and perspectives are taken seriously.
