cancel culture is a real thing and it's so crazy that it's the people who talk about free speech
00:00:04.320

00:00:10.220

00:00:15.340

00:00:23.280
CTV is in the business of journalism, so you need people with credibility and journalistic
00:00:30.520
integrity, and Rachel Gilmore does not have much of that. For those who don't know, Rachel Gilmore
00:00:36.800
used to work for Global News, and because of one of her articles, James Topp served a notice of
00:00:41.900
libel to Global News. This is right before she got let go from Global. And while I was putting
00:00:48.260
together this video, I realized, oh yeah, here's some more misinformation that she spread before
00:00:52.460
saying that this mpp got punched in the face at a like trans protest and yeah this guy did not get
00:00:57.500
punched in the face he was in a crowd and got pushed and his megaphone hit his face if you're

a journalist the details are important rachel gilmore has also worked closely with anti-hate.ca
00:01:08.380
that has a very questionable reputation in terms of their journalistic integrity and they've also
00:01:13.340
admitted that they have a far left bias um we are very proudly anti-fascist and we focus on
00:01:20.140
the far right and although you might say well the ctv already has a far left bias yeah but the
00:01:25.180
people watching don't know that and they don't want to portray that and you especially don't
00:01:29.580
want that on a segment about the election where you should really appear to be non-partisan and
00:01:35.100
it goes without saying if you want a serious journalist who's going to be a fact checker
00:01:40.780
you need to be someone who's i don't know not overly emotional hey everyone thanks for having
00:01:46.060
me um this is obviously a very important topic and i have some big feelings about it if you're
00:01:52.540
a ctv executive and you want your program on the election taken seriously why would you take
00:01:57.660
someone no offense rachel but like right out of the movie from clueless some ditzy red-haired
00:02:03.580
