CBC Rebrands 911 as Terrorism | Lubbock News

CBC is reversing course on how it labels the September eleventh attacks, now explicitly calling them terrorism — a shift sparked by leaked memos that once instructed staff to avoid the term unless quoting others. The broadcaster says this change brings clarity and aligns with public understanding, while still attributing motivations for new acts. Canadian officials praised the move, calling old guidelines “pedantic and foolish,” but U.S. officials reacted angrily, with the FBI director warning that agencies endorsing such framing risk losing America’s trust. CBC insists they’ve never denied 9/11 was terrorism — just reported it with attribution, following global journalistic norms.
