Ezra Levant, the CBC and the JDL: ‘Should I report myself to the police?’

July 31, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Heh:

Last week, during its coverage of the mass murder in Norway, CBC television was interviewing their “security expert,” Bill Gillespie.

There was a lot for Gillespie to talk about that day — whether the confessed killer, Anders Breivik, was part of a larger organization, or why a Muslim terrorist group had claimed responsibility, etc.

But Gillespie also seems to have had other things on his mind that day — Jews. So when he was asked about extremist groups he said this: “The Jewish Defence League is a banned terrorist organization in Canada.”

That’s not an opinion; it’s a statement of fact.

The CBC said the Jewish Defence League (JDL) is a terrorist group.

Except it’s not true.

***
PS: the CBC issued an apology to the JDL yesterday.
