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 1.00

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 1.00
00:02:03.580 chick hey my god guys let's talk about fact checking this was a business decision by ctv
