“CBC ‘As It Happens’ Loses the Jihad Trail”

by Natasha on Monday, March 14, 2011, 8:38 am · 2 comments

Minutes before the program, David B. Harris, a Canadian lawyer and terrorism specialist with three decades of intelligence experience, saw CBC’s Facebook pre-broadcast publicity, and posted an immediate response at the website. Within about two hours, this response had disappeared from the site – but only after Point de Bascule staff captured it for the record.

Those familiar with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Mission and Values” statement can read Harris’s text, below. They can then decide for themselves whether its removal was in line with the public broadcaster’s professional standards, including its obligation to seek out “truth in all matters of public interest.”
