The Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board is taking CBC Newfoundland and Labrador to task for its coverage of an incident last week in which a supply ship struck a semi-submersible platform offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
The online version of one CBC story about the incident is available on the cbc.ca/nl website. You can find the story with the comment mentioned in the letter in the video of the Here and Now Friday night broadcast.
The CBC line set up an attack on the board by labour/NDP spokesperson Lana Payne in the comment that immediately followed the reference the board took exception to in the fourth paragraph.
The letter is available on the offshore board website.
