Travis Dhanraj: Whistleblower or Pickle Thrower?

Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj promised to “pull the curtain back” and reveal what is really happening inside the CBC. On Tuesday, he testified in parliament that he experienced bias, tokenism, and bullying at the public broadcaster. Conservative voices are calling his testimony “explosive” and “shocking,” while others consider his concerns “pedestrian” and “absurd.” What does Dhanraj’s whistleblowing tell us about the situation inside the CBC?Host: Jesse Brown Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), Kallan Lyons (Associate producer and Fact Checking), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Travis Dhanraj Further reading: Former CBC journalist Travis Dhanraj accuses broadcaster of 'tokenism' [YouTube] Former CBC News host Travis Dhanraj says he was 'pulled off the air' for fighting against bias - CBC NewsFormer CBC host Travis Dhanraj tells MPs of internal conflict over sources and political bias - Toronto Star Terry Newman: Finally, proof of what we've known all along — CBC is biased against conservatives - National PostJewish leaders demand action after 3 Toronto synagogue shootings in a week | Globalnews.caCan't Be Censored - YouTube Sponsors: Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.
