According to a post by TorStar's Zerby, the memorandum of understanding between the Canadian Media Guild and the CBC includes purging any "negative references and material related to the work stoppage from web sites, podcasts, blogging etc. consistent with the CBCand CMG accepted journalistic standards."

Lockout? What lockout?

Tod Maffin, the guy behind CBC Unplugged, doesn't sound like he wants to be a team player about this in his post I will NOT erase history:

 I have chosen to not publish hurtful, personal attacks against individuals (management or workers -- neither the infamous memo nore the "party" photo appeared on my site) and I stand behind every word I posted.

The last 50 days changed labour communications forever. The worst thing we can do is erase history.

Blogs are powerful. When I blogged about how Bell Expressvu fucked me over, it jumped to the top of Google.

If the Guild or CBC wants something off my web site, I will gladly provide the contact information for my lawyer and would welcome the challenge in court.

Bring it.

One person commenting at Maffin's blog said such language was standard and that all the CMG had to do was "encourage" compliance, not enforce it.
