As the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, the far-left Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is under fire after an alleged leaked internal memo instructs reporters not to refer to the event as a ‘terrorist attack.’
According to The Jerusalem Post, the story was first reported by Canadian journalist Warren Kinsella, who received the memo.
A screenshot of the memo shared by Kinsella shows it originated from Basem Boshra, Senior Director of Journalistic Standards and Public Trust at CBC News, and was sent to reporters and editors.

Per The Jerusalem Post,
In bold letters, Boshra states the attacks are not to be referred to as terrorist attacks.
He then continues by saying that “The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, DC, Pennsylvania and Manhattan. The World Trade Center (WTC in second reference) was destroyed.”
A CBC spokeswoman told Kinsella: “CBC’s longstanding language guidance regarding the terms ‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism’ is a preference for the use of these words with attribution, a practice shared by many of the world’s top journalistic organizations. Our general manager and editor-in-chief has written publicly in the past on the subject.”
Medica Research Center’s David Bozell joined the Chris Plante Show to discuss the outrageous decision.
“Yeah, but the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and you said it, I think you had it off the top of your head, ‘don’t call it a terrorist attack,’ say, ‘well, airplanes were hijacked, and people were killed,’” Plante shared.
“‘Do not refer,’ this is in the memo, ‘do not refer to the September 11th attacks as terrorist attacks.’”
“That’s the key right there,” he continued. “And they say you can call it a hijacking, it says, ‘the hijackings led to passenger jet crashes.’ Yeah. So you can say that, just don’t call it a terrorist attack. And you can say ‘hijacking that leads to passenger jet crashes, uh, is— it’s not a protest.’”
“That’s good to know, it’s not a protest. But there it is. It’s a terrorist attack, but they won’t call it that. Now, why will they not call it that, David?” Plante asked.
Bozell responded, “Well, I can say, you know, look, if the Canadians thought they were going to have a trade deal with the United States, um, you can probably kiss that goodbye.”
“And if I’m If I’m, uh, if I’m, uh, if I’m Mr. Lutnick at Commerce and I’m negotiating this, this agreement, uh, going forward, that’s a new stipulation I’m putting in there, uh, to tell the CBC to stand down and reverse course.”
“Why would we have a trade agreement with a country that fails to consider 9/11 to be a terrorist attack?”
“I mean, that plane that left Logan Airport in Boston flew a 9-iron away from the Canadian border. I mean, just like you said. So…and right to the World Trade Center.”
“Why, did they pick this fight? Boy, it’s, it’s just this, um, uber sensitivity to the Nation of Islam, that’s, I think, first and foremost.”
Plante added, “Fear.”
Bozell continued, “They just don’t— if, you know, it’s a fear. Yeah, you’re absolutely right. And then secondly, I think just anti-American.”
Listen:
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation are refusing to call the 9/11 attacks a “terrorist attack.”
Why? Because they’re horrified of offending the nation of Islam.@DavidBozell @ChrisPlanteShow pic.twitter.com/gUdl4g63YG
