Canada Public Broadcaster CBC Quits Twitter Over "Government-Funded" Label

Canada's public broadcaster CBC and its French-language version Radio-Canada said Monday they were effectively quitting Twitter over a new government-funded label it says questions its editorial independence.

"Our journalism is impartial and independent. To suggest otherwise is untrue. That is why we are pausing our activities on @Twitter," the broadcaster said in a Twitter message.
