Would someone please tell me.....

....what in Gawd's name the CBC was doing flying a Palestinian flag in the background during its New Year's Eve television coverage?!

If any flag is to be flown by the CBC, it must be this one.

Once again, the CBC is disgracing itself as a purported objective scribe of international and national news.  How anyone working there can call themselves journalists is beyond me?!  I worked as a journalist in Toronto during the early seventies and, unless one was writing a column, one was required to be objective.  Any opinions were to be kept to oneself.  Period.

Wait, I think I have the answer.  The CBC is funded to the tune of billions by the taxpayer and Mark Carney just officially recognized the state of Palestine.  Unfortunately, someone forget to tell Mr. Carney that there is no such thing as an official Palestinian state, so there's nothing to recognize.

Mahmoud Abbas, along with the late terrorist Yasser Arafat, was a founder of the PLO and has ensconced himself as president of what is known as Palestine since 2005.  Despite having pledged to hold elections, he hasn't.  He also remains a rabid hater of Israel.    

What a joke.
