Juno News - Rachel Gilmore was fired from her CTV fact-checking role after backlash

00:00:00.000 Story of another TikTok influencer, although I think that she probably has the exact opposite

00:00:05.140 motives that you do. I think all she wants is fame and fortune. Talking about Rachel Gilmore.

00:00:10.520 And so we covered this on the show last week. She got hired by CTV to do a fact-checking segment.

00:00:18.160 And I mean, to me, this is just the most farcical thing imaginable. Like,

00:00:22.380 Rachel Gilmore is a meme of herself. She is always pushing whatever the most extreme version

00:00:29.240 of the narrative is she tries to fact check others while basically all she's doing is pushing her own

00:00:36.060 far left agenda and really like no matter what issue it is you can count on Rachel Gilmore to

00:00:42.740 take the most extreme far left view and so it was a little surprising for some of us to see that

00:00:49.140 she'd been brought on by CTV which is you know as mainstream media as you can get especially given

00:00:55.160 that, you know, maybe during an election, you might want to have a bit of balance and

00:00:59.820 not bring on the most extreme left winger in journalism. So it didn't really surprise me that

00:01:06.060 she was out of a job. We learned this last night that Rachel Gilmore, her segment was cancelled

00:01:13.220 amid backlash. She blamed the Conservative Party. Gosh, you almost feel sorry for her if you forget

00:01:18.700 all of the context about all of the nasty things she said about unvaccinated people or people who

00:01:24.740 don't want boys playing girl sports or, I mean, any number of issues, but what do you, what do

00:01:29.260 you make of this whole controversy, Mario? Yeah, honestly, I had no idea who she was a couple of

00:01:33.960 months ago, um, at all. And, um, uh, I had been tagged in a video where someone was, and there's

00:01:39.700 always going to be, you know, similar, what I believe are far left extremists calling me out

00:01:44.760 for disinformation, but they never tell you what the disinformation is or what they'll do is they'll

00:01:48.900 take a small clipping of a larger context of what you're talking about. And then this is how evil

00:01:53.620 Mario is, and this is the disinformation he's talking about, but when it comes to having a

00:01:57.620 direct debate, they could never hold up in having that, and they would never actually

00:02:01.580 engage in that kind of a conversation.
