As a reader of our media action alerts, you are well aware of the profound impact that HRC has had this past year. For a more detailed review of our efforts in 2008, please see our special 2008 report.

HonestReporting Canada (HRC) commends Radio-Canada Ombudsman, Ms. Julie Miville-Dechêne, for carrying out an independent review of our public broadcaster’s airing of a pro-Palestinian propaganda film.

After receiving scores of complaints for airing the anti-Israel advocacy film "Peace, Propaganda, and the Promised Land", Radio-Canada, the French-arm of the CBC, agreed to air a new documentary to provide "different perspectives on the situation in Israel and Gaza" in the coming months."

When Radio-Canada aired the pro-Palestinian advocacy film "Peace, propaganda and the promised land", the network not only misinformed Canadians about the politics and history of the Middle East, it also breached its own journalistic standards and practices by airing a one-sided partisan polemic bent on vilifying a fellow democracy, the state of Israel.

When our public broadcaster, the CBC, went beyond Mideast "conventional wisdom" and featured critical reporting on the Iranian nuclear threat and on the dangers of Hamas' rule in Gaza, it's important that we pause, take note, and expose excellence when it'

HRC intervenes to counter recent Canadian media canards and to ensure fair and accurate coverage of Israel.

Thinking globally, but looking locally, HonestReporting Canada responds to a problematic report in the Kingston Whig-Standard which incorrectly presented an activist's allegation as fact.

HonestReporting Canada announces the growth of its subscriber base to a remarkable 20,000 members across Canada.

To answer the question of what constitutes "bias" HonestReporting Canada has detailed several examples of errors and distortions that we've come across and the results we secured.

A Montreal Gazette article about a pro-Israel rally in Montreal marking the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel "Missed the Mark" according to the Gazette's Editor-in-Chief.

Following a flood of complaints from HRC subscribers, the Journal de Montreal published a retraction in today’s newspaper after publishing an AFP report which falsely blamed Israel for the death of a Palestinian boy.

HonestReporting Canada is pleased to announce the launch of our Montreal office and expansion of our monitoring efforts to include French-language Canadian media coverage of Israel.

We condemned the publication of a column endorsing the murder of innocent children, and asked the paper to issue a formal apology in the next edition. Today, the paper did just that.

In York University’s campus newspaper The Excalibur, contributor Lama Aggad yesterday justified the deadly terrorist attack at the Mercaz Harav seminary in Jerusalem while accusing the Israel Defense Forces of carrying out a “Holocaust in Gaza.”

The Toronto Star took a principled stand and departed from previous editorial policies by giving front-page prominence to the Jerusalem seminary attack by headlining and appropriately calling terror by its rightful name.

The Globe and Mail published a misleading, emotionally charged, and carefully crafted photo presenting brutal Israeli soldiers with guns exerting unfair authority over innocent Palestinians, all without providing any context.

The Globe and Mail, Canada’s “paper of record,” bought into false notions that Hamas has evolved into pragmatic peaceniks who advocate “non-violent resistance.”

After CBC Around the World falesly claimed that an Israel airstrike against a notorious terrorist in Gaza was in "retaliation" for the Dimona suicide bombing, HonestReporting Canada contacted the CBC and secured a rare on-air correction.

As the mainstream media continue to be manipulated by Hamas spin doctors in exaggerating a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, The Toronto Star was just one of those media outlets that was duped into giving fuel to the Hamas propaganda machine.

The Montreal Gazette seems to have departed from Canwest's principled policy regarding appropriating the "terror" word by editing out the emotive word from Canwest copy.
