Summary
The Republican National Committee just revoked press credentials for CBC and Radio-Canada ahead of their big convention—just as midterms loom. Citing the CBC’s past policy on labeling 9/11 as “terrorism,” they sent a fiery letter calling coverage an insult to victims. Though CBC had reversed that policy, it wasn’t enough. This move fits a broader pattern: U.S. officials are tightening access for foreign journalists, including denying credentials to major outlets like NYT and Bloomberg at recent G20 meetings—and slashing visa durations. Critics see this as part of a wider effort to muzzle international media and reshape how stories are told. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
