The Canadian Broadcasting Corp (CBC) is a patronage pasture for retiring government liberals so it is no wonder they would do something like this. The CBC is like CNN — never a good thing is said about Trump.
So I think the BBC, CBC, NHK (Japan) and other foreign news broadcasters become chummy with the American journalists.
So if those foreign Washington correspondents don't toe the Anti-Trump party line, then they are dissed and kicked off the cocktail hour circuit and they don't want to lose that face, not to mention the home office will probably fire them.
You're dealing with the Deep Media.
