The whole CBC 9/11 thing is honestly pretty worrying to me because it's the perfect dumb American bait. If you ever wanna goad an American into supporting something, 9/11 is The Way.

    I saw the CBC article in response but I feel like I completely missed the initial context. What actually happened?

    CBC updated their guidance document so broadly, if their journalists want to use the phrase terror attack to describe a particular attack, they need someone to attribute the use of the word terror to. Basically, don't describe an attack as terrorism without having a quote or source for that.

    The Americans went "ok but what about 9/11?"
