I received a response from the CBC, regarding my criticism of their soft portrayal of Hezbollah on this morning's This Morning.
Here it is:
Sir/Madam,
This is a difficult and emotionally charged subject. Our goal is always to balance comment from experts and politicians of ALL stripes, with questions that challenge accepted views. Our goal is to broaden understanding of what is happening. We do our best to address the concerns of all sides without fear of favour.
As you can see from the e-mail comments below received in the past hour, the SAME story can elicit remarkably different responses from viewers across the spectrum. I wonder who is right?
MT - TORONTO: "What is the reason for your double standards and outright bias FOR Israel? Might makes right?"
RK - TORONTO: "Your morning's efforts to present a sympathetic portrait of Hezbollah
as a legitimate organization with which Israel and the west should
negotiate were naive and soft-headed, but entirely in keeping with
you astonishing left-wing bias."
TS - "His liberal anti American agenda blended with a somewhat covert anti Israel sentiment permeated his response about why the M.E. is in turmoil.
JE - KITCHENER: "Mr. Forestall has to be given a great deal of credit in his attempts to put some balance in Mr. Kingstonâ€*s closing comments, trying to get some admission that Hezbollah truly has been terrorizing Israeliâ€*s.
PP - QUEBEC: Mr Forestell showed his bias in saying that it would be "distasteful" for either the US or Israel to talk to Hezbollah.
I would suggest it is equally distasteful to talk to the Israelis.
PS - I followed through on my last post. Fox News is on the air!
And that's the way the Ball bounces.

To scare the CBC you should have suggested that the Lebanese rescue effort be paid for out of their budget.
Then we could have been assured that the bar would have been well stocked on the cruise liner. Of course, the liquor would be free.
Regrettably, there would be no room for the escapees because the "so called" reporters would have snagged all the spaces.
That's a great story. Waiting for more.
