    infected with Zionism

    What does that even mean though? That’s an individualistic value judgement. How can you realistically attribute that to a national organization? Is the 22 year old recently graduated journalism student responsible for the decisions of the CBC leadership? Obviously not.

    Free, independent, and transparent press is fundamental to the type of society we want to live in. I find it deeply concerning that people will pin the blame on the CBC as a whole without digging any deeper into the individuals inside and behind the CBC.

    We don’t improve the CBC by allowing our national institution to become scapegoats for zionists.

      Zionism has a definition. I mean it literally.

      If, like you say, it’s a series of individuals who are making these choices, they must have so much influence that they are effectively casting a shadow on the entire organization. I think that is a flaw of the organization itself. Again, different perspectives.

        I would generally agree with that assessment. When I say infected, what I mean the individuals in an org are zionists… but the organization as a whole remains focused on it’s correct mandate.

        From my perspective I also have worked in a coprorate environment for a decade. I’ve outlived mergers, multiple boards/ceos, executive teams, and mass layoffs. When something goes wrong business wise, individual humans are held responsible and replaced when necessary.

        So I would much rather see the discussion shift towards identifying and amputating the zionist individuals in the CBC.

        Also the CAF 100% deserves some heat for not backing the CBC up in this particular instance. I was under the impression ITV pulled a fast one.
