This is your CBC

I first wrote about child murderer Samir Kuntar on July 18, 2006. He is perhaps the most despised man in Israel and a not insignificant factor in the recent Israeli/Lebanon debacle.

So why is the taxpayer funded CBC sucking up to this fundamentalist psychopath?

CBC and Nahlah Ayed’s sympathetic portrayal of Qantar's plight raises many troubling questions:

Why did CBC present a one-sided report on a murderer’s family and construct the report so that viewers would feel sympathy for a terrorist?

Why did The National’s producers not ask Ayed to balance footage of the murderer’s family with footage of the victims' family?

Would CBC have constructed a story about callous multiple-murderers in Canadian prisons the same way?

Was it appropriate for Ayed to adopt Hezbollah’s term, "Operation True Promise," in discussing the recent kidnapping of Israeli soldiers and murder of others?

UPDATE: Hezbollah says it will swap 2 soldiers for child murderer... telling you everything you need to know about this organisation.
