It appears that the CBC is being said to have initially, in a report, described the infamous Canadian bus beheader/cannibal (click that link; it will tell you shocking new details about the cannibalism stuff as heard by the court) as a "Chinese Muslim" who was "motivated" by the Koran.
There's some blog buzz that the CBC allegedly changed its story to sanitize the Muslim and Koran reference.

As there's no proof, I suspect that it could be a hoax, so I won't make any declarations, but have asked the question in the above-noted headline.
Nothing wrong with doing that, as the mainstream media, of which the CBC is a member, asks questions in headlines as if the question was the news, like when they ask whether there's something bad about the Conservatives, even though there isn't. So tit for tat.
I don't see how they can complain that I ask whether they did something when they're always asking similar questions, too, in their headlines. One is reminded of when MacLeans once had a very distasteful cover headline about former Canadian Alliance leader and current Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day that asked the prejudicial question, "How Scary?".
If it's ok for the mainstream media to go around tossing out headline questions making people think that so-and-so is this or that, then surely it's ok to ask similar headline questions on a blog, like the one above this post.
