And how did the CBC come up with the phony headline and story? The author himself wrote how in his piece: from Media Matters for America, a left-wing site that each day distorts or lies about what conservatives say. The author never bothered to listen to my broadcast. He took what Media Matters wrote and recycled it.

"To its credit, after its editor was notified of this fact, Newsweek changed the headline and made revisions to the article and issued a correction.
"Since then, two more smears have been spread about me, one by an official at Purdue University and the other by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the major source of news in Canada.
"The Jan. 21, 2020, issue of The Exponent, the Purdue University student newspaper, published the following in a story about John Gates, Purdue’s newly appointed vice provost for diversity and inclusion: “John Gates has seen quite distinct viewpoints at Purdue, even in his first week at Purdue in early 2019. When he attended a Turning Point event that Dennis Prager spoke at, he noted that he was one of three black people in the room.
"“‘His central thesis was as follows: Diversity is bad. Every dollar spent on diversity is a dollar wasted,’ Gates said. ‘He said slavery was not bad. In fact, every civilized nation was founded in slavery, and that blacks should just be happy to be in this country. And he got a rousing ovation.'”
""A vice provost of Purdue University quoted me as saying, “slavery was not bad.”
"Needless to say, I never said anything remotely like that."

'Readers can fight back by contacting the president of Purdue, Mitch Daniels, at president@purdue.edu. Contacts from Purdue alumni would be particularly helpful. And readers can contact the CBC through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or an email to its ombudsman: . . .
UPDATE: Does America Suffer from an 'Emotional Illness' on Race?
. . . "One witness, civil rights activist Diane Nash, delusionally claimed that America "was founded on genocide," which was an "extremely fundamental institution in our history." She went on to state that "we look on the value of lives of Europeans and white Americans and Australians and maybe Israelis as much more valuable than the lives of people who are Asian, African, and Latin American."
"First, as an American Jew, I take issue with the loose use of the term "genocide" to describe America's founding. The Holocaust was a genocide; Rwandans faced a genocide, as did the Armenians. But even if you agree with Ms. Nash, what occurred 300 years ago in the Americas is not something that was foundational to our founding and is not enshrined in our Constitution today. Today, our history books — until now, with the New York Times attempting to rewrite history with its 1619 Project — accurately portray what was done to American Indians and slaves. Despite Nash's claims otherwise, we do in fact acknowledge our historical mistakes." . . .
