The CBC’s campaign against parental rights, revealed
by Jonathon Van Maren, The Bridgehead:
Over the past year, I have been consistently covering the way that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and other Canadian media outlets have been serving as an activist propaganda arm for the LGBT movement, publishing – almost without exception – relentlessly negative coverage of recent parental rights legislation in several provinces. The claims of LGBT activists, no matter how dubious or debunked, have been published as fact; opponents of parental rights have been selectively interviewed while supporters have been largely ignored; the premises of the LGBT movement have been accepted as the foundation for much of the reporting.
Most egregiously, much of the alleged journalism on parental rights legislation – supported by super-majorities of Canadians in nearly every province – has asserted that parents do not have the right to know what school staff know about their children, and that to tell parents if children want to “transition genders” could risk the lives of those children. Canadian parents have been slandered by the press, over and over again.
The Hub has now detailed some specific numbers about the scale of that activism-as-journalism in a report titled “The CBC prioritizes allyship over objectivity in Saskatchewan parental consent coverage: An empirical analysis.” Dave Snow observed that CBC’s headlines alone direct readers to specific conclusions, with 37 percent of headlines on Saskatchewan’s parental rights legislation engaging in “attributed criticism.” Examples he notes include: “Families of trans kids, activists say they’re angered, scared, disgusted by Sask.’s pronoun law”; “Sask. Opposition says pronoun and naming policy motivated by politics, transphobia.”
Not a single one of the 38 articles Snow analyzed “contained attributed praise of the policy.”
