CBC does me proud (and as a former resident of Toronto, let me say that there is a surprisingly high concentration of gay Persian men, most refugees fleeing this sort of violence).
That much being said, I think the editors didn't need to flash the images of two young boys hanging at every transition. It was a bit "20/20." But then again, this is a situation where a bit of sensationalism might help the cause.... posted by LMGM at 8:17 AM on March 23, 2007
Wow. Yes, thanks very much for posting this. posted by trip and a half at 7:48 PM on March 23, 2007
This is an excellent post, thank you.
It's a blessing and a curse to have this video on YouTube. The CBC could never get this distributed internationally the way that YouTube can, and it's a story that needs to be seen all over.
But at the same time, the fact that it is on the Internet means that it can be seen in Iran - the CBC should have realised that it wouldn't stay in Canada and have worked harder to protect the people they interviewed. posted by jb at 2:27 PM on March 24, 2007
