Normally, when someone attacks CBC News for bad journalism, we here at the Post are naturally tempted to whoop, “Pass the ammo!” But on Sunday the Toronto Star published a column by Robert Jago, an outstanding Indigenous freelance writer, that denounced the corporation for its thorough, bulletproof, incredibly-long-overdue exposé of folksinger Buffy Sainte-Marie’s faked Indigenous origins.
I wonder at the sensitivity of the Bluffy revelations.
The willingness of some to turn away from the truth is understandable among friends and admirers indigenous or not.
A backlash against the fiasco of the fake graves mania perhaps?
