More Jewish Thought Police Jewish group plans rally against CBC, by Gayle MacDonald, Toronto Globe and Mail, January 14, 2003 "An angry, grassroots Jewish organization is organizing a demonstration today against the CBC [the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation], alleging its Middle East coverage has been 'consistently negative' against Jews. Supporters of Canadians Against Antisemitism plan to gather outside the CBC's Toronto headquarters late in the afternoon. The Toronto-based group, which has 700 members, is taking particular aim at the news reports of veteran CBC correspondent Neil MacDonald, the public broadcaster's correspondent in the Middle East for the past five years. Sandra Stern, the group's chairwoman, believes Mr. MacDonald's coverage is biased, criticism that comes on the heels of a heated debate in newspaper columns between Norman Spector, a former Canadian ambassador to Israel, and Tony Burman, the CBC's executive director of news. Mr. Spector has criticized the CBC harshly, suggesting it takes an anti-Israel, anti-Jewish stance. Mr. Burman has stoically maintained CBC coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is balanced and fair. The two men are now trying to hammer out terms agreeable to both for a 30-minute TV debate slated to take place on Sunday on CBC News: Sunday, a 10 a.m. show with hosts Evan Solomon and Carole MacNeil."
