Blacklocks- Caution CBCers Over Tweets
“This is a healthy reminder for those journalists who feel compelled to weigh in on controversial news stories,” wrote Ombudsman Jack Nagler. “While you don’t carry the burden of balance on your social feeds the way CBC does as a whole you are still expected to provide context where necessary.”
The guidance followed a social media post last November 6 by Samira Mohyeddin, a Toronto producer for the CBC Radio program The Current. Mohyeddin tweeted in sympathy for a Palestinian activist arrested for inciting terrorism.
The post omitted the fact the woman, Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi, was arrested for threatening to kill Jews and drink their blood.
Is Jew blood halal?
Likely not haram for them.
What more context do you need beyond “Mohyeddin supported lunatic palestinian activist who threated to kill jews and drink their blood”
Is Mohyeddin still employed by CBC?
“While you don’t carry the burden of balance on your social feeds the way CBC does as a whole”. Someone’s holding your beer so that you can go stupid level 11. I know it.
