Radio Canada suspends reporter - Jewish control remarks

Post Reply New Topic

After on-air statements in which a French-language Radio-Canada reporter made statements about Jews controlling different aspects of society and countries, the national broadcaster apologized on Tuesday and suspended the journalist.

Journalist Élisa Serret explained in a Monday French-language segment that the United States of America could not detach itself from its positions on the State of Israel because “the Israelis, in fact the Jews, finance a lot of American politics.”

“The big cities are run by Jews,” said Serret, speaking of broader infrastructure in which Jewish control was supposedly exerted. “Hollywood is run by the Jews.”

Radio-Canada suspended Serret, it announced the next day, relieving her of her journalistic duties until further notice. The broadcaster decried her analysis of American Middle East policy as “stereotypical, antisemitic, erroneous,” which included “prejudicial allegations against Jewish communities.”

We recognize that these comments have offended many viewers. We sincerely apologize to them and to the Jewish community.”

Deputy opposition leader MP Melissa Lantsman said on X/Twitter that apologies and excuses were not enough, and that Serret should be fired rather than paid with tax dollars.

“Overt antisemitism on TV is part of the deep systemic rot corroding our society, and it flourishes when tax-funded institutions provide it with a platform,” said Lantsman.

Liberal Mount Royal MP Anthony Housefather said on social media that the suspension and apology were positive developments but on Monday also called for Radio-Canada to explain how it would prevent such an occurrence from happening again.

B’nai Brith Canada called for CBC/Radio-Canada to conduct a full review of its editorial policies, including identifying the editorial and production staff responsible, clarifying why its standards failed and what corrective measures would be taken, and issuing an on-air apology.

“No effort was made by the host to correct, contextualize, or cut off the speaker,” the organization wrote on Tuesday in a letter to the CBC’s ombudsperson.

AS, do you know about a conspiracy that Mossad is targeting American media outlets that are anti-IDF?
Candace Owens is pushing an anti-Israel message (reason she was kicked out of the daily wire) and is spreading rumours about Netanyahu being connected to Charlie Kirk's assassination. why does she push such a dangerous conspiracy? putting herself and her reputation with pro-Israel MAGA at risk?

As a black women how much reputation did she really have? Like with Tucker she is not working for anybody so she can say what she really feels.
