BY LifeSiteNews.com By Patrick B. CraineSeptember 3, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Canadian pro-life leader has lambasted the CBC and its flagship news show The National for what he says was its extreme bias in covering this week’s hostage-taking in Maryland by an environmental extremist.In their Wednesday night coverage of James J. Lee’s enviro-terrorism at the Discovery Communications building in Silver Springs, Maryland, The National failed to mention Lee’s environmental motivations and wrapped up the piece in 45 seconds.“Imagine how differently they’d treat it if Lee was an anti-abortion extremist instead,” commented Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition.When abortionist Dr. Bernard Slepian was killed in Buffalo by an anti-abortion extremist, The National carried a nine-minute segment detailing the incident and past instances of violence against abortionists.Lee took three hostages at the headquarters of Discovery Communications, which runs the Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel (TLC), at around 1 pm. Wednesday, carrying a gun and apparently wearing at least one explosive.  Several hours later he was shot and killed by police after he aimed his gun at a hostage.In a manifesto published online, Lee had called on the Discovery Channel and TLC to "stop all shows glorifying human birthing."  He demanded that they feature shows discouraging the overpopulation of "parasitic human infants" to save the earth from global warming and pollution.The CBC report described Lee as “a man who has railed against the Discovery Channel’s programming for years,” but offered no explanation of his objections to the programming.  CTV News, on the other hand, described him as an “environmental activist”.“This coverage is just more evidence of the CBC’s incredible bias,” said Hughes.  “The public broadcaster does the nation a disservice by withholding crucial information on such a major story.” http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cbc-fails-to-mention-discovery-channel-gunman-was-an-environmental-activist/
