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".
Nice little sleight of hand takedown. Slick.
