CTV Fires Two Journalists Over Manipulated Pierre Poilievre Clip

An internal investigation revealed the clip falsely portrayed Poilievre's comments, sparking backlash and leading to the journalists' termination.

  • CTV News terminated two journalists after an internal probe found they altered a video clip of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
  • The manipulated clip gave the impression Poilievre was advocating for a motion against the Liberal government's dental care program, instead of discussing the carbon tax.
  • Poilievre criticized CTV and its parent company Bell Canada, accusing them of dishonesty and financial mismanagement.
  • The Conservative Party announced it will no longer grant interviews to CTV reporters, citing dissatisfaction with the network's apology.
  • CTV issued a public apology, reaffirming its commitment to accurate, fair, and balanced reporting.
