CTV News broke a promise to Stephane Dion when it broadcast the false starts by the then Liberal leader during a taped interview just days before the last election, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council says.
The council’s ethics panel said the network had given a commitment to Dion to edit out the start of the interview, a segment in which Mr. Dion did not seem to fully grasp interviewer Steve Murphy’s awkwardly worded question.
