Air Canada Strike

I heard this story as I was driving into school this morning;  the broadcasters assumed the C word was the  "profanity when describing the federal mediator."

What Im wondering when is it okay for journalist to use terms that can be offensive? Even hinting around saying the word by using acronyms such as "the C-word" or "C U Next Tuesday?"

As of right now the term isn't being released. However this makes me wonder, if it is the C-Word compared to something else? Not saying the situation is okay if another word was used, but is the story getting more attention because the possibility of the offensive wording.
