So not only are they throwing a little tantrum over a label, they’re just hurting their credibility more by trying to justify it with inaccuracies.

So, a nice little sleight of hand crop job by the CBC instead of just posting the definition. Slick

The operative part of Twitter's definition of "government-funded media"—which doesn't apply to the CBC—is "may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content". So, that's what the CBC quoted. There's no "sleight of hand" here, you're just seemingly incapable of reading things in context.

You copied the "full" definition of "government-funded media" from Twitter (https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-an...t-media-labels), but neglected to keep the inline link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego...d_broadcasters intact.



I presume this wasn't deliberate "sleight of hand" on your part...






Just so we're all clear, from https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-an...t-media-labels:



The only difference between "government-funded media" and "publicly-funded media" is "varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content". As the government has no involvement with the CBC's editorial content , by Twitter's own definitions it is "publicly-funded" not "government-funded".
