In journalism school they teach you to “show, don’t tell.” So... a former longtime CBC union staffer posted this article in a private CBC Facebook group.The article called the people who leaked Wendy Mesley’s use of the N-word to the @CANADALAND news site a “rat” & “snitches”.1/5
Exhibit #2: Not satisfied with just posting the article our former union rep then posted the below comments - about those who had aired CBC’s “dirty laundry” and shown “disloyalty.”
2/5
Exhibit #3: Another former longtime CBC union staffer then writes that anyone “accusing” CBC of systemic racism is pedalling “bullshit” & that the notion is “absurd.”
3/5
Exhibit #4: This is how our union responded to the article.
4/5
To be clear, this is not about whether our union should support Wendy Mesley or not. They are obliged to since she is a member. This is about whether they should cheerlead calling our junior colleagues snitches & rats & exposing them to the fallout of being labelled that. 5/5
