Republican Party revokes CBC/Radio-Canada media accreditation for upcoming midterm convention

Chuck Thompson, the head of public affairs at CBC, says the public broadcaster is reviewing the Republican National Committee's "disappointing" decision to revoke CBC/Radio-Canada press accreditation for next month's event in Dallas, Texas.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is one of the growing number of battleground Republican candidates who have decided against attending next week’s inaugural Republican midterm convention in Dallas before November’s elections. “She won’t be at the convention,” a source familiar with the situation told the Washington Examiner.

The RNC sent a heated letter to CBC/Radio-Canada revoking all the public broadcaster's previous-approved press credentials
