OUTRAGE: State Media Bans Truthful 9/11 Description as Liberal Censorship Intensifies
Liberty Check
- Canada’s state-funded broadcaster issued directive forbidding journalists from using accurate terminology for 9/11 attacks
- Politically correct censorship now extends to rewriting history of America’s deadliest terror attack
- Taxpayer-funded media outlets increasingly bow to radical ideology over truth
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has issued a shocking directive to its reporters and editors, instructing them not to refer to the September 11, 2001, attack on America as a “terrorist attack.”
The state-funded media outlet’s guidance represents a stunning example of political correctness run amok. Nearly 3,000 innocent Americans were murdered on that day when jihadist terrorists hijacked commercial airliners and turned them into weapons of mass destruction.
The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon stand as one of the most unambiguous acts of terrorism in modern history. Yet Canada’s government-backed broadcaster now apparently finds the term too controversial for its audience.
This directive comes as left-wing media organizations worldwide increasingly prioritize ideological sensitivities over factual reporting. The effort to sanitize language around Islamic terrorism has become a hallmark of progressive newsrooms.
Conservative media critics have long warned about the dangers of state-controlled broadcasting. When government funds journalism, editorial independence suffers and politically motivated censorship inevitably follows.
The CBC receives approximately $1.4 billion annually in Canadian taxpayer funding. Critics argue this creates inherent conflicts of interest and makes the broadcaster beholden to political pressures rather than journalistic integrity.
American families who lost loved ones on 9/11 deserve to have their tragedy accurately described. Refusing to call terrorism what it is dishonors the memory of those murdered and distorts historical truth for political purposes.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
