CBC editor attempts to censor journalist Linden MacIntyre

Description

Jennifer Harwood, managing editor of CBC News Network, has directed her staff to cancel all interviews with CBC journalist Linden MacIntyre in the wake of comments he had made in an interview with the Globe and Mail, connecting the behaviour of Peter Mansbridge to that of Jian Ghomeshi.

Several hours after Harwood's announcement was made, Jennifer McGuire, the general manager of CBC News, declared that the directive had not been cleared by network executives. McGuire said: “The idea that Linden MacIntyre would be barred from the News Network is not true and is not what is going to happen.”
