Gaah! Autocorrect doesn't like that word, apparently. I fixed the other one 😒

Oh fgs. Have they learned nothing from the USA?

CPC can’t abide facts and CTV wants CPC to win, so…

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social deserved to do this. CTV sucks. I hope someone else picks her up for the gig.

I’ve stopped watching North American news and started following more European sources. Lately, I’ve just been listening to candidate speeches directly, it’s wild how biased to the right the coverage has become here.

Shame on you CTV for not allowing the fact checking segment. Cowards pandering to the conservatives.

Conservatives fear the truth above all, if they can't lie no one will vote for them.

Craven CTV caved 'to avoid the “distraction” created by her online “troll base.”' Shame on @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social's cowardice, abandoning journalism's role of informing people and holding the powerful to account. Caving to bullies *emboldens* them. You can't let them dictate your news coverage.

Very fox of them

Well, then, I will stop watching CTV News

That’s very good 🤭

CTVNewsAPP@bellmedia.ca

Oh please, do not fall down the well of silence like we did! Stand up against misinformation/disinformation.

I have messaged CTV to express my disgust with their cowardly, unprofessional behaviour and stated that if they don't reverse the decision I will make a formal complaint to CRTC.

Pierre Poilievre won't talk to reporters never mind allow them a follow-up, and won't be fact-checked despite his many lies and exaggerations. But ask him about his tire and he can't stop talking...to CTV News.

What a load of crap. I loved seeing her actually give us the truth and truly Canada this is the first to become like America. Vote Carney so she can do her fucking job. You suck CTv

Let news@bellmedia.ca know what you think.

Oh no. Don’t give in!!!

#BoycottBell

Keep pushing her, she’s a powerhouse

@coltonpraill.bsky.social @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social Is CTV cancelling facts? Pathetic.

And I canceled CTV. IOW I’m boycotting them. Boycott is the word of the year boys & girls.

It’s funny how the right are so against fact checking. It’s almost as if they’re a bunch of dirty stinking liars

They "don't have the bandwidth"? I bet if there was a US-Canada hockey game on they'd have the bandwidth. A huge multi-media company making such a lame excuse should be ashamed.

I think we need to Streisand Effect this and shame Bell Media

bsky.app/profile/frus...

@ctvnews-rss.bsky.social supports MISinformation??? WTH

Jeez, Rachel doesn’t even HAVE grey hair yet.

“Due to online backlash by conservatives”. They’re active! Are we? Scroll up- some fine person has posted co tact info for ctv. We need to provide even more ‘backlash’! We don’t want to become mini me USA.

📌

CTV is pathetic. And it compares with the woeful CBC News. #cdnpoli

Just pathetic and cowardly

It's pretty telling that the Conservatives didn't want a fact-checker scrutinizing their candidate. Coupled with Poilievre continuing to avoid getting a security clearance, it seems to beg the question: what are they afraid of? What do they have to hide? Cowardly of CTV.

CTV news is a fucking joke and has been for decades

Man, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social really is the strawman mainstream conservative hate that is forcing everything including the CAJ to happily fall upon their swords. It is shameful and yet she is a legend of resilience.

They're barely able to keep up the pretense of being unbiased anymore these days.

So CTV collapsed after a few trolls swarmed their comments, I'm going to go out on a limb and anticipate there wouldn't be a lot of resistance if, say PP was elected, and started a US style crackdown on media...

This is not ok!!

holy fuck eh

@ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social This is unacceptable. Reinstate @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to her factchecking segment. Allowing the Conservative Party to dictate your journalistic decisions does not reflect well on your organization.

Just like oil & water, facts & CONservatives don’t mix well together. You should be ashamed of yourself CTV execs. I’ll be sending a complaint to the CRTC. Just like we are doing with US goods, I think we need to consider boycotting the CTV. I. AM. CANADIAN. 🇨🇦🍁

You’re getting orange dust on you Canada. Take it from this American, it’s never too early to resist. Don’t put up with that bullshit or you’ll end up like ‘merica

Is Skamski the one sometimes seen in a MAGA hat? #cdnpoli

This is the Conservatives telling on themselves. They don't want to be called out on their lies.

Better watch out Canada; you're getting a trump if you don't take action

Gutless

In case you were wondering why some of us are saying to boycott corporate news media.... THEY ARE COMPLICIT with the right wing agenda.

Where have we seen this before?

I completely agree. Democracy falls when there is no longer truth. Very concerning the conservatives were successful in shutting down discussion of facts and labeling the messenger a liar with no proof. And that it worked! What can we do to bring light to this?

And PPs first task, according to him, is defunding the cbc WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN✊️ or we will circle the drain, right down into sewer system to the south

So conservatives hate fact checking in Canada, too? Why do we allow politicians to lie to us.

Can we all agree to stop listening to conservatives?! Also why do we do them the kindness of calling them conservatives when they are bigots?! We could just call them bigots?!

Ceci est scandaleux!!!! Aucun parti ne devrait avoir le pouvoir de dicter le contenu de nouvelles 🤬🤬🤬

Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives are afraid of 'fact checking' during an election campaign? Who woudda guessed a right wing party like his would be afraid of fact-checking. Sorta goes with Poilievre's refusal to have his own background checked for top security clearance.... DOESN'T IT?

Demonstrating the difference between journalism and media. Journalism involves fact checking. Media is about getting clicks.

Cowards! Shame!!!!

CTV will always cave. No journalistic integrity.

Poilievre doesnthave press on his csmpaign planes and now this!!

Sorry- the Tory flack who complained is called Sebastian Skamski?

Pathetic

CTV made a choice - an ignorant choice. They could have carried on with the next scheduled segment, and intro'd Rachel while exposing the online harassment, and the cheerleading from the Poilievre camp who would not stand to defend their accusations.

SCREW THAT DON'T turn into America ELBOWS UP !!

CTV is a disgrace. May its network ratings go down faster than Tesla stock.

We have seen what happens when main stream media caves to trolls. This is not only sad, but frightening. CTV should face serious blowback from watchers because of this.

Ugh. I was hoping we’d do better than our southern neighbours. It’s a slippery slope. I’m holding my breath until this election is over.

Another reason not to vote conservative

Rachel should sue Skamski for slander!

CTV is a bunch of baboons

Cons have never shown any interest in helping out her O&G buddies. The fossil fuel industry has received $75B in federal subsidies over the last five years, while she continually whines about how the Liberals are trying to shut it down.

📌

A brilliant artist with a wicked sense of humour where politics is involved!

When Frank Magazine and The Beaverton are more respected media outlets in Canada than CTV is, we have a PROBLEM. (And those publications are satire outlets!)

Wow CTV 👎🏻

Nothing suspicious at all about someone who doesn't want facts checked.

Boycott CTV.

Many voters enjoy being lied to & get quite 🤬 when a politician tells them the truth. Small wonder so many politicians do lie when we have media & voters so committed to intentional ignorance. #QuitHittingYourselfAlberta 🤕🍭🍭🤷

This is another frightening example of the media being intimidated into veering away from balanced and fair coverage by baseless accusations of being unfair and imbalanced. Poilievre et al are bullying the media into normalizing their views and actions.

Tells you all you need to know!

P2's cronies can upchuck backlash vomit real good. #bucket

This is what the foreign interference commission report was talking about. Cowards T V @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social

#CTV soon to be fox? Can't take the heat? Wimps...

Actually, Bell Media is headquartered in Toronto.

That’s why I no longer watch CTV news or otherwise

So like, can we get them to respond in an appropriate manner by harassing them ceaselessly as non-conservatives? I’m willing to try.

Giving strong: “Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact-check” vibes.

😡😡😡😡

The cons and their band of criminals are quite the machine.

Frankly CTV and Poilievre can both F right off. And the sooner the better. The little twerp made his feelings quite clear when he basically copied Trump’s fundraising letter a few years back. The sooner he leaves Ottawa for good the happier I’ll be.

Maybe CTV needs to learn the meaning of The Hecklers Veto. Since when does a national news outlet not have the “bandwidth” whatever that actually means to handle some online trolls? If the trolls don’t think what is being said is the truth then they can prove it easily. Otherwise they’re lying.

Disgusting @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social

news@bellmedia.ca Let’s give them a piece of our mind!

A fact-checking segment cancelled by a misinformation campaign. You can't make this up.

Watch this shit Canadians! If they lie, cut their mikes and end the chat.

@ctvnews-rss.bsky.social - not impressed. Be better.. This isn’t Trump’s America!

They have no problem with conspiracy theories but they can't handle the truth.

Of course they did, it's CTV!

God forbid the news should check the facts.

CBC is no different than CTV. Both take orders from RW thugs.
