In the middle of active war with the US & Israel, CBC gets rare permission to report from inside Iran — with government minders, approved translators, and visas limited to Tehran only
Senior correspondent Margaret Evans describes the overland journey, state handlers, and a city of 10 million where soaring inflation and war uncertainty are hard to spot amid the middle class
Nothing unusual about that, right? Just like in May 2025 when she was in Tehran advocating for Canada to normalize relations with the regime (below)
Question: Why would CBC embed with the world’s top state sponsor of terror (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis) and give airtime to regime-friendly access journalism?
@brodiefenlon
CBC has a Margaret Evans problem
Today she's in Israel complaining about the democratically elected government
"And there are domestic issues with a very hard right government here, the most hard right government in Israel's history."
Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and insurrection worldwide, but CBC pays a reporter to propagandize for normalizing relations
But just over three weeks ago, she was in Iran calling for a renewed relationship with the terRorist supporting regime
Evans is the poster child for CBC bad judgment 1/5
