One of CBC's Twitter accounts now has a label which describes the broadcaster as 'Government-funded Media.'
The Canadian Press emailed Twitter asking for an explanation of the added tag, and the company responded with a poop emoji.The corporation has drawn a distinction between "government" and "public" funding because of the fact that the money it receives is granted through a vote made in Parliament.
