Advocacy @ HBT: Media Bias at the CBC, Anti-Hate Hotline, Hillel Town Hall and The Jewish Security Network 

• Honest Reporting Canada and CIJA call out media bias at the CBC 
• B’nai Brith Launches Anti-Hate Hotline and App 
• Hillel Ontario Virtual Town Hall 
• Jewish Security Network Training 

This week Honest Reporting Canada and CIJA both presented detailed reports on the anti-Israel media bias at the CBC. You can read more here and here. Both organizations argue that the CBC has violated their own tenets on journalistic integrity, standards, and practices. You can add your voice to the petition to the President of the CBC, demanding accountability and an independent commission into the  CBC’s reporting on Israel. 

B’nai Brith has launched a powerful new tool to help quickly report hate in Canada. Utilizing the hotline, or the downloadable app, you can instantly report instances of both digital hate and in-person hate crimes that target our community. Hotline information is available here.
