Conservative MPs want CBC executives to appear before a Commons committee to justify the company's policy of not using the words "terrorist" and "terrorism" to describe Hamas and its attacks. The House of Common heritage committee descended into partisan bickering Tuesday as MPs debated whether to study the CBC's coverage of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
CBC maintains that those words can be used in news coverage if they're said by somebody else in a clip or quote. Conservative MPs, however, have said they want Tait, Achi and Jack Nagler, the CBC's ombudsman, to appear to discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict alone. Fry asked Thomas to keep her comments on-topic. Thomas insisted she was speaking to the motion before the committee.An exasperated Liberal MP Michael Coteau at one point asked for a five-minute pause as Thomas and Fry raised their voices.
Thomas reserved her harshest criticism for the CBC, saying that the company's management is not representing the Jewish-Canadian community well because it won't allow the words "terrorist" and "terrorism" to be used freely by reporters when discussing Hamas violence.a recent Toronto Star op-ed
