MSM getting it wrong, again, Vol. III

As reported by Reuters [suspend belief here] and printed by La Presse in Montreal, Radio Canada reporter and veteran Ottawa correspondent Christine St-Pierre has apparently been suspended by the taxpayer funded French language arm of the CBC, for disobeying an internal memo concerning personal opinions. Her transgression? Sending words of support to the troops in Afghanistan:

OTTAWA (Reuters) - One of Canada's top television reporters has been suspended from her job for praising the country's increasingly troubled military mission in Afghanistan, the company said on Friday.

Christine St-Pierre, a veteran Ottawa correspondent for French-language public broadcaster Radio-Canada, wrote an open letter to Canada's 2,300 troops telling them to ignore mounting criticism of the mission.
[...]
"We owe you all our respect and our unfailing support ... dear soldiers, your tears are not in vain, your tears are brave," St-Pierre wrote in the letter, which Montreal's La Presse newspaper published on Thursday.

Radio-Canada suspended her for breaching internal regulations that stipulate employees are not allowed to express their opinions on controversial issues.

"Ms. St-Pierre infringed a number of Radio-Canada's journalistic rules ... she has been relieved of her functions for an indeterminate period," said spokesman Marc Pichette, adding that the broadcaster was investigating what had happened.

St-Pierre told La Presse she knew she had gone too far and said she could no longer be objective when it came to reporting on events in Afghanistan.

As has been pointed out in other commentary, the CBC is a child of the federal government, which approves and supports the mission. There is nothing controversial about the Afghan mission for the CBC, right? Right?

Update: Stephen Taylor takes on this topic and takes a run at Tony Burman, News Chief at the CBC, making the point that the bias continues, and that in the mundo bizarro of the CBC, its just the opinion that is not consistent with corporate bias that's not OK.
