Proof that CBC should stick to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

It all went down so pat--especially if you watched it on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) in a story that started with the Canadian television network before thanks to the Internet going worldwide: The body of dear little 3-year-old Alan Kurdi, washed up on a beach; his 5-year-old brother, Galib and mother, Rehan, drowned in a tragic attempt for a better life in Europe. Only his grieving father, Abdullah, left to take their bodies back to Kobane, Syria.

All the Canadian government’s fault.  What a story! And right in the middle of the October 19 federal election that has the lib-left salivating about taking out Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.  Until Sky News came out with the truth yesterday. The Sky video on the tragedy is  a video that should be ‘Truth 101 How the Other Media Propagandizes the News of the Day to fit its own Narrative’. “I did not do Abdullah’s paper work yet,” little Alan’s Aunt Teema told Sky News on Thursday.  “I did not ask the Canadian government for financial (or) anything.” “The situation was Abdullah does not have any teeth.”  In reality there was no file on Alan and his family before the Canadian government.  Nor did Teema ever ask the Canadian government for financial or help of any other kind.  Teema’s help for the family was a private sponsorship,  to raise the funds for dental implants for Abdullah at an estimated cost upward of $14,000. While the CBC-led leftwing media is presenting the story that Alan, Galib and Rehan died trying to reach a Canada that didn’t want them, the truth is Teema and her father suggested that they might find a better life in Europe.  “So said to him if they go to Europe for his kids and for better future, then we see if we can fix his teeth.” But this is how CBC reports on the news of the little boy whose picture broke the heart of the world: “

We don't yet know the entire story, but the effort failed. And in the face of what some have insisted this summer was "migrant fatigue" among Canadians, this is how some of them now react on Twitter:

• "My Canada is a home for refugees."
• "We shd all b ashamed."
• "I'm heartbroken to hear #AylanKurdi's story. This is another child Canada could have saved. #RefugeesWelcome #pray." (Alan Kurdi's name was previously reported as Aylan.)
• "This is absolutely heartbreaking. Canada MUST do more."

That's just on one twitter feed alone. “At last count, there were more than four million Syrians languishing in neighbouring countries and nearly eight million internally displaced. It is the worst such crisis in 25 years. “Canada has taken in 2,500 from Syria, and some 20,000 from Iraq. The prime minister has promised to take in 10,000 more Middle East refugees in the next four years. The Liberals are promising to take in 25,000. “Draw your own conclusions.”

This is how their audience should draw their conclusions on the CBC: They lie. Canadian taxpayers who support the CBC to the tune of $1 billion a year should instruct Canada’s largest television network that the news means telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
