Mansbridge defends speech to CAPP

TV news anchor Peter Mansbridge is defending himself after a report he made a paid speech in 2012 to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

In a blog post on CBC’s website he he says he’s never promoted or opposed oilsands development, or shared his opinions on any issue in the news.

He’s the second CBC personality questioned recently for reportedly being paid to speak at events paid for by members of the oil industry.

CBC acknowledges Rex Murphy has spoke up about supporting oilsands development.
