https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/september-11-cbc-terrorist-attack-memo Quote:This week, I received a memo — presumably confidential — addressed to CBC News staff. It is authored by one Basem Boshra, who is the “Senior Director of Journalistic Standards and Public Trust at CBC News.” In Boshra’s memo, reporters are editors are told this: Quote: “The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes,” it reads, again in italics.

Quote:Kerry Kelly, the poor woman assigned to defend the insensible, said she’d get back to me. She did. Here is what she said: “CBC’s longstanding language guidance regarding the terms ‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism’ is a preference for the use of these words with attribution, a practice shared by many of the world’s top journalistic organizations. Our general manager and editor in chief has written publicly in the past on the subject.”I understand the idea of "someone's terrorist is someone else's freedom fighter" but surely we could differentiate between the Nelson Mandelas of the world and the ones who fly planes into buildings? How far does this non judgmental approach go? Are Nazi war criminals also just described as generals? There really is just a strange impulse to bend over backwards for people who don't deserve kindness. 2 users liked this post: HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, Alpacx

Just an amazing entitlement to demand that these actors distance themselves from what made their entire career and undoubtedly shaped their life considering they're recognized as these characters no matter what they do. Like none of them have said anything bad about trans people. They just demand that they give up anything related to the franchise 3 users liked this post: Alpacx, malfoyking, HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth
