Is Pierre Poilievre deliberately muddying the waters on the CBC’s Twitter label?

But that’s not what Twitter’s label is actually suggesting. Public pleaIn early April, Poilievre made a public request to Musk to label the CBC “government-funded media,” saying Canadians should be protected against disinformation and manipulation by state media. According to Twitter’s media account label policies, there’s a distinction between the “government-funded” and “state-affiliated” labels. Not a warningThe “government-funded” label doesn’t appear to suggest any sort of warning or raise cause for concern about the outlet’s objectivity and independence. But misleading Canadians by conflating Twitter’s media account verification labels, as Poilievre has done, is not the way forward.
