I watched that segment. I remember them saying very clearly that Israel didn’t allow them to film it. So you know what they did? They showed footage from the ground, and didn’t mince words as to how horrific things were. They showed the landscape, where barely anything is standing. They showed people digging through the ground looking for spilled kernels. There was absolutely no way you could watch that report and not understand the insanity of what is going on there.
In fact, anyone who follows CBC’s news coverage has no reason to not understand the depths of the horrors happening in Gaza, or in Palestine in general. They don’t shove it into the corner. They place it center stage. Again, and again, and again. As if to say, “don’t forget what is happening here”.
The CBC definitely has its faults, but this article is blowing things way, way out of proportion.
I agree. I watch CBC Vancouver News everyday and even for a local edition they are dedicating time to point out the relevant facts. Yesterday they had a segment on the hugely high fatality rates of journalists and interviewees didn’t pull any punches, explicitly stating that Israel’s behavior is intent on getting rid of the witnesses of a massacre. They compared the death of journalists to other wars to show this is not “normal” or just “accidents”. Dare I say it was a pretty decent and damning report.
Yup, I saw that one as well after I left this comment. It showed really well not only that this is the largest number of journalists killed in such a conflict, but by really, really far. And did it in a way that shocked even me.
