    The CBC article about me is an excellent example of Fake News: The CBC reporter (Mairin Prentiss) never reached out to me for my comments. It appears that she also didn’t read my pinned tweet, the public post that I made on Facebook, or the statement that I released to the mainstream media.Great job CBC! It’s no wonder that public trust in institutions such as our media and academia are at an all time low.
