New York, Sept.19 (ANI): The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is reviewing complaints from both Americans and Canadians about a Web site columnist who recently described Sarah Palin's supporters as "white trash," compared the vice presidential candidate to a "porn actress" and called her daughter's boyfriend a "redneck" and "ratboy."
The incendiary column by Toronto-based writer Heather Mallick appeared on the CBC News site on September 5, after the close of the Republican National Convention.
On the same day, Britain's Guardian newspaper published another column by Mallick in which she trashed Palin's home state of Alaska as a "frontier state full of drunks and crazy people."
Mallick also wrote on the CBC Web site that Republican men, whom she called "sexualinadequates," must think that women would vote for Palin just because she's a woman.
CBC Ombudsman Vince Carlin told FOX News that he has gotten "quite a few complaints about [the column], both from Canada and the U.S," and said he's reviewing its contents to see if it meets CBC's journalistic standards and practices.
But he noted that Mallick is a "columnist not a journalist." (ANI)
