Biased Programming on CBC, Radio One, As It Happens

Published by Lale Eskicioglu on Dec 03, 2007

As Canadians, we the undersigned wish to express our profound disappointment with the CBC’s lack of journalistic integrity and critical analysis of the most serious charge imaginable – that of premeditated, systematic, mass murder or genocide, specifically as claimed by the Armenian community.

We demand that our national and publicly funded broadcaster apologize for the obvious bias of both October programs of As It Happens.

The CBC must commit henceforth to more thorough research, independent of our government’s views, and to balanced reporting regarding the suffering of both Turks and Armenians around 1915. The numerous respected historians who disagree with the genocide label warrant a radical change of CBC policy on this issue. An interview with at least one of the following scholars should occur as soon as possible, preferably within the next 60 days: Bernard Lewis, Guenter Lewy, Andrew Mango, Justin McCarthy, or Norman Stone.
