CBC censors Campbell’s CI counter-argument

email me ken.macintosh.  @ cbc.ca for an explanation
In the interests of fairness, may I say that CBC Nova Scotia’s coverage of New Brunswick born and raised Gabriel Wortman has been exemplary —— at least, in comparison to CBC New Brunswick.

(Talk about praising with faint damns !)

In ordinary circumstances,  President Trump might reasonably expect that if he gave an interview with Fox News announcing that he was about to release his old tax records, he would not have to repeat that interview with all the other 87,563 major media outlets in the world, before his announcement was widely known.

Similarly, we can doubt that RCMP superintendent Darren Campbell  expected his important clarification regarding rumours surrounding a Nova Scotia mass murder would remain known only the GTA readership of the Toronto Star !

But that is what has happened.

I will be making a complaint to the CBC Ombudsman, for the fat lot of good it will do.

When I made a complaint to them about a CBC story from BC a few of years ago, I was promptly sent a case number for my complaint by email.

But nothing else in the years since....
