Republican Party Revokes CBC/Radio-Canada Media Accreditation for Upcoming Midterm Convention
The broadcaster reversed its 9/11 language guidance, but the Republican National Committee said the policy still warranted losing access.
- On Monday, the Republican National Committee revoked media accreditation for CBC and Radio-Canada to cover its party convention in Dallas, Texas, on September 9 and 10.
- The RNC cited the broadcaster's previous policy of not attributing terms like 'terrorism' to 9/11, claiming that allowing journalists to attend would be an "insult" to victims of the attack.
- Basem Boshra, CBC's senior director of journalistic standards and public trust, reversed the policy on Friday, clarifying that direct attribution is not required for describing 9/11 as terrorism.
- U.S. House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain and FBI Director Kash Patel criticized the broadcaster amid broader trade tensions between Canada and the United States.
- CBC head of public affairs Chuck Thompson confirmed the network is reviewing the RNC's decision as the convention remains a key press event ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.
