CBC published the story, end of story. They can choose not to publish a Canadian Press story if they do not agree with its premise and does not absolve them if they put in on the front page. The Canadian Press source can be any freelancer or reporter including affiliate CBC reporters (or CTV reporters). While the Canadian Press is a nom de plume, this blurb from the article seems to suggest direct CBC involvement in the development of the story. CP is not some mythical neutral news entity, its owned by several media groups and shares resources.

Wendy's and Dove did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did Bell Media, which owns CTV. CBC News has reached out to Sports Illustrated.

And CTV printing it? No controversy whatsoever in CTV printing that story there no sir.
National Post also posted it, well aware of how CP works. All media that blindly picked up this article looks bad.
