The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has instructed journalists not to use the term “terrorists” when reporting on Hamas’ deadly attacks against Israeli forces and civilians. 3 “Do not refer to militants, soldiers or anyone else as ‘terrorists,'” the CBC’s director of journalistic standards instructed reporters on Saturday. If your newsroom has a secret pro-Hamas censorship policy, the world needs to know.”A CBC spokesperson confirmed that Achi’s email was legitimate Tuesday, according to Fox News. The representative also insisted that “there is no ban” on using the terms “terrorist” or “terrorism” when the CBC reports on the slaughter of civilians in Israel by Hamas. 3 “CBC News attributes the words ‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism’ to authorities, politicians and other officials who use these terms,” a spokesperson for the Canadian broadcaster said.
