Since my last post I have released two reviews and agreed to conduct two more.
One review involved an interview on CBC Radio Quirks & Quarks with a nuclear safety expert. I did not find any violation of CBC Journalistic Standards and Practices concerning bias in the interview.
A second review involved a television news script on the CBC Charlottetown Compass program concerning a provincial loan to a cookware company formerly run by a Liberal candidate in the federal election. I did not find any violation of CBC Journalistic Standards and Practices.
I have agreed to conduct two reviews, one involving a reporter's depiction of a news conference featuring the prime minister and another involving a co-host's on-air remarks.
Another review is completed and will be released in the next few days, while another six are backlogged.
