When your job is to report a major news event but you're so woke you're terrified of being called a phobe

The article contains exactly 33 words. Just the facts, ma'am.

But they did report it. Are you referring to the short length?

Yes. For context, the CBC is our state broadcaster up here in Canada (owned "arm's length" by the government). They have always skewed left, and have really tripled down on the DEI stuff in the last ten years. Every article they write is a barely veiled, lengthy screed on how the oppressors are oppressing and how the victims are perpetually victimized. So it sticks out like a sore thumb when this news source writes anything less than several hundred words, and even moreso when they have absolutely nothing to say about a protest as big as this one. (Halifax is a small city, so a thousand people is significant here)

Thank you my friend. I’m a Canadian and have a background in broadcast journalism. I hear your concerns.

I mourn the loss of standards in your profession. The ones who still care are in an impossible predicament, I fear.
