CORRECTION (Dec.26/2018): On this episode, Jesse says that Sue Ann Levy was previously censured by the Newsmedia Council for incorrectly attributing the term Shaheed to the Sikh religion. In fact, it was a different SUN columnist, Candice Malcolm, who was censured for that mistake. We regret the error.
