Former CBC News host Travis Dhanraj claims he was forced to resign because of CBC's Anti-Conservative Bias. When you are unfairly dismissed, you usually hire an employment law lawyer.

Travis Dhanraj hired a very unusual lawyer.

This is the bullshit right-wingers are throwing around now. Pay attention so you don't get caught in their web of lies.

As of this writing, Dhanraj does not appear to have actually resigned from CBC News, nor has he been fired. According to the National Post, the CBC has not accepted Dhanraj’s resignation.

Anti-conservative bias? What did he say?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know, the definition of conservative that embraces conspiracy theories, rejects science, adheres to a christofascist ideology, and rejects evidence-based anything. Not anti “conservative” as any regular Canadian would define the term.

Great, thanks for the explanation. Not what I was asking.

Doesn't cover what he said as the article doesn't use full or coherent quotes. Just what could be called sound bites.

If I cannot be openly racist and defend pedophiles, what's next? This is anti conservatism!
