Mr. Speaker, CTV News aired a segment that deliberately misrepresented comments made by the leader of the official opposition. On the eve of a confidence vote, CTV edited together out-of-sequence phrases to create a lie to protect its massive government subsidies and to protect a failing Prime Minister. CTV manufactured a false narrative about the common-sense Conservative confidence vote. It desperately tried to avoid reporting that the vote was about the urgent need for a carbon tax election.
Canadians deserve fairness, accuracy and accountability in news, but CTV showed a complete disregard for basic journalistic integrity and ethics. This was not an accident or a misunderstanding. This was another example of the media's shameful anti-Conservative bias. Just look at the excuses made by the heavily subsidized PMO stenographers at the Toronto Star.
They should take note that deliberate misinformation and lies will be called out and condemned. After nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up for the bought-and-paid-for media bias.
