Old Sins Cast Long Shadows

Honest Reporting Canada has announced their 2004 Dishonest Reporting Canada Awards and Alexandre "Sacha" Trudeau has taken top honours for his production of "The Fence" for W5 at CTV.

Trudeau then portrayed Zakaria Zubeidi, leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin, as a "skinny renegade" living "from day to day" with his "small band." Yet Trudeau never told viewers that Zubeidi and the Jenin Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades have murdered Arabs, Israeli Jews and foreigners stationed in Israel. Rather than telling CTV viewers that the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades murdered a Canadian citizen in a bus bombing and have been designated a "terrorist organization" by Canada, Trudeau instead referred to Zubeidi as a "leader of the resistance" and asked Zubeidi whether he "loves life."

I guess there is more than a grain of truth to that old saying; what's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh.
