Ireneu Teixeira, a specialist on this matter, analyzed an internal memo from Canadian public broadcaster CBC, attributed to the station's editorial leadership. The document instructs reporters to avoid the term "terrorist attack" in coverage of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. According to the memo, the editorial leadership intends that the anniversary coverage not use this terminology. Ireneu Teixeira considered this guidance to represent an attempt to "sanitize and rewrite the history" of the September 11 events. The memo was revealed at a time when the commemorations of the 25th anniversary of the attacks that occurred in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania are approaching.
