When I posted the video of anti-Israel protesters chanting “Heil Hitler” at pro-Israel supporters during Ezra Levant’s rally in Calgary Thursday (see here) you absolutely knew there was no way that attending media didn’t witness it and stayed silent – now we have proof that at least one did exactlt that.
While reading this piece “Silent vigil Palestinian solidarity” I noticed Calgary Herald reporter Erika Stark omitted the fact that Israel supporters were attacked even after referencing the event where it happened:
Friday’s rally was markedly different from the past protests, where chants filled the air, tensions were high between Palestinian and Israel supporters and angry words were exchanged between the two groups. (see here)
I confronted Stark on Twitter about this obvious omission and then noticed this tweet by her:
A professional reporter admitting she self-censored in order to shield vile racists wishing for the death of Jews and, she still has a job.

Typical of the MSM.
August 2, 2014 at 10:30 AM
So her modus operandi is don’t report it, it didn’t happen. She should get out of the business if she holds such sensibilities.
August 2, 2014 at 11:02 AM
She has to live with herself, after protecting those despicable people. I don’t know how she can do it!
August 2, 2014 at 11:05 AM
I can’t begin to wrap my mind around how she can either.
August 2, 2014 at 12:43 PM
Perhaps they don’t vet ‘quality control’ on grads from journo school.
She does look like she unabashedly tows the media party line !

A new slogan for the Calgary Herald could be “All the news we don’t suppress!”.
August 2, 2014 at 4:40 PM
Progressive 1% hypocritical journalosers are the new norm in Nenshi’s Calgary.
August 3, 2014 at 6:22 AM
It’s been the norm for decades. It is why we have a mayor like Nensharia

WTF is going on in this country???
August 4, 2014 at 9:04 PM
Apathy and contentment. That’s what’s going on in this country……oh. And terrorist support.
August 2, 2014 at 9:51 PM
It appears that intimidation and fear of retribution may also be silencing the press. Perhaps she doesn’t want death threats on her twitter feed.

She’s not alone nor even a little unique. There’s a liberal politically correct narrative that runs through all of our “news” reporting. Its very hard for anyone who thinks outside the liberal box to find hard news. #silentnomore
August 4, 2014 at 9:05 PM
LIEberal will lie.
August 3, 2014 at 6:45 AM
Add to my list of requests: Fire Nenshi, Calgary Chief of Police and add Erika Stark and the rest of the chicken**** journalists who are negligent in their duties.
Outrageous they should still be employed.

The same thing happened at the March For Life in Ottawa. The topless FEMEN protester was shouting “f*** your morals” and the CBC only reported that one of the protesters was shouting “my body, my rules.” Every effort I made to get them to correct the record was blocked.

Every reporter and every editor has a set of biases or prejudices. Another example is the Vancouver Sun that frequently publishes advertising columns for the latest condo developments, dressed up as news stories. All the while this same newspaper ignores or suppresses stories about consumer complaints about condo developers, the quality of their construction and failure to make good on defects. Cosnumers write the Sun letters or propose op ed pieces but they are not published. It appears that the Sun is terrfied of printing anything bad about the real estate industry in BC, from which a large chunk of its advertising revenue arises. The Province is no better.
August 3, 2014 at 10:31 AM
I will refuse to read the Calgary Herald or support in anyway ANY and ALL who support Palestinians or any person or group who do not support Israel She is just a young “flap brain” with no life experience and
precious darn little in the way of intelligence.
August 3, 2014 at 10:32 AM
oh and I also UNSUBSCRIBED to the Herald a few minutes ago.
August 3, 2014 at 10:40 AM
You let them know why?
August 3, 2014 at 11:27 AM
Sorry people if you want the truth you’re going to have to watch Sun News, the media party has a way of cherry picking and manipulating, not to mention avoiding telling the real story at all.
August 3, 2014 at 12:01 PM

I don’t see this the way the rest of you seem to Her tweet suggests to me that she thinks what she’s hearing is too vile to repeat because it’s so horrendously offensive. I don’t think she’s guilty of anything other than possibly not having a strong enough stomach to be a reporter, which requires repeating awful truth.
August 3, 2014 at 6:24 PM
Then she should quit

August 3, 2014 at 11:07 PM
The Calgary Herald is the only newspaper to have made a long ago managerial decision to officially block me on Twitter – so guessing, not a chance.
August 3, 2014 at 11:41 PM
You made twitchy,or should I say Erika did.

I’m not going to share it until you post it,But don’t wait to long? I like bragging about Canadians…lol!

You rock, BC Blue! You got officially blocked! You are my hero. 🙂 (Seriously) I love it when the idiots start squirming.
