Bias at Global News

Came home from the gym today and turned on the 5:30 Global News. They had a story on the Hezbollah pep rally in Beirut and a fallow up with a man called Mark Sirous (sic) who made the claims that Hezbollah has the support of 50% of the Lebanese people and no peace will be possible until the return of the Sheba Farms is resolved.

Only problem is where did the 50% number come from? Plus the Sheba Farms is the pretext Hezbollah uses to justify their attacks on Israel. In reality the Sheba Farms are Syrian territory.

Unfortunately by the time I got the computer fired up I didn't know if I remembered the man's name correctly so I didn't see any good matches in Google.

My question is when did Global become a mouthpiece for Hezbollah propaganda?
