DISINFO: CBC was banned because of Russophobia

SUMMARY

The Canadian CBC's Moscow office was shut down because it became a propaganda channel taking an "openly Russophobic" direction.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative blaming the West for being Russophobic.

A Russian diplomat in Ottawa, Vladimir Proskuryakov himself told CBC that the decision to close a CBC Moscow bureau had nothing to do with the network's journalists, it was simply a retaliatory step for Canada's CRTC banning th ebroadcasting of RT.
