I'm sorry, this must be a different CBC than the one I'm following. The one I'm following barely goes a day without detailing the horrors. The hospital bombings, the starvation/famine, the killing of journalists, and so on. I mean, the CBC ain't perfect, but it's definitely not whitewashing the situation in Gaza. Even when the news making event is about the Israeli hostages (not too often nowadays), a sizeable chunk is still dedicated to the horrors in Gaza to put it into perspective. And I don't think I've ever seen a statement from Israeli government officials get aired without serious scrutiny in the last year.

Good. The CBC has been biased on this. Only recently have they started more openly sharing critical views, but for most of the time this has been going on there was a strong pro-Israel bias. Even now, they are very cautious on the national programming about how they describe it. Compare it to how the situation with Ukraine and Russia is covered and the contrast is stark. The CBC is capable of putting blame on a party and making stark accusations of brutality of intent, but they're still very cautious about Israel.
