Backwoods Bernie Wants the Canadian Jewish News to Become...More Like Him


It isn't nearly progressive/Peter Beinart-y enough, claims the ex-Official Jew, who, in his current incarnation--he's now a Jioux, apparently--is pushing for what happened to Canada's Aboriginals to be declared an official genocide (via FFF):

Bernie Farber, the former head of the lobby group Canadian Jewish Congress, said the Canadian Jewish News plays a pivotal role in the Jewish community. Farber said he hopes the new version of the paper includes more diverse views and daily stories that attract younger readers.​

The print edition of CJN has been “very stilted for a very long period,” said Farber.​

“There are a lot of young Jewish academics, students and others who consider themselves Zionists but see themselves as socially progressive and different from their parents and they have to have a perch from which they are able to speak. And I think the CJN can offer them that freedom or perch and they should, and I look forward to them doing so.”​

Speaking of "stilted," that is. Extremely. Making BB a perfect candidate for a regular, er, perch in the "new" CJN. He could even borrow the Backwoods Bernie moniker, if he'd like.
