CBC quietly issued a “correction” on their website regarding Barton’s claim. She should be forced to publicly apologize to Humphrey.

CBC has been largely responsible for spreading a considerable amount of misinformation regarding 'graves' at residential schools. Perhaps the most egregious was describing them as mass graves right after the 'discovery'. It had to correct and walk back on after it was pointed out that a 'mass grave' was akin to the types of pits the Nazis threw its victims in after a mass murder and buried them, but the damage was done and Canada became known internationally as a genocidal nation. Now, I know, thanks to Google, you won't find much mention of that anywhere, but I remember it quite well because I was aghast at the first mention of it. But of course CBC has perpetuated this myth of graves and implied misconduct on the part of those who worked at the residential schools. They have also taken great pains to essentially ignore or try to justify the burning of some 100 Christian churches across the country in response to the lies told about those 'graves'. For Rosemary Barton to even venture into this issue that by calling Drea Humphrey and Rebel News the purveyors of 'misinformation' takes more than nerve, it also take stupidity and that goes double for Rachel Gilmore.

Agreed. They revel in it. Amazing that the CBC can do in-depth work, like the shredding of Buffy Ste. Marie's reputation, but they can't seem to do any in-depth investigation on the graves issue...or even just be more objective in their reporting (i.e. none of these claims have been proven). You can see the wild distortions of media in my report: https://michellestirling.com/2023/10/25/confronting-indian-residential-school-confabulation-and-media-irresponsibility/

Rachel Gilmore is likely "defending" Rosie in order to boost her non-existent career. Having been booted out of CTV's fact checkers no doubt she is desperately seeking attention.

Heaven forbid anyone should actually be interested in truth when it's so much more fun to demonize Christian Canadians.

Thank you. As usual Gilmore is wrong and CBC shamelessly so. Without a change in government Canada is doomed. Everyday the constant CBC propaganda continues. I listen each morning to CBC radio for a reality check. Horrifying.

The truth is the truth. In this case, shouldn't the truth be celebrated??

Why do so many insist we all bow down to the lies and quit questioning what we're being fed.
