Once a bastion for fair reporting in its newscasts, CTV, like the rest of the [[mainstream media]], has recently taken a turn toward the Left akin to the CBC and most of the American networks in its news reporting and has shown blatant [[liberal bias]] in certain reports it has filed.

*On an episode of daytime talk show ''The Social'' (the Canadian equivalent of ''[[The View]]'') in November 2019, Friday co-host and liberal elitist Jessica Allen engaged in racism, sexism and bigotry when, while trashing the sport of hockey, she accused it of being played by "white boys" (despite the fact that Allen is white herself) and falsely labeled long-time ''Hockey Night in Canada'' co-host and analyst Don Cherry a "bigot" and a "misogynist" during a discussion over the fallout of the firing of Cherry from that program by the CBC for making comments defending Canada's military veterans, which liberal pundits falsely claimed were "racist" and "anti-immigrant" but were, in fact, deliberately misinterpreted and twisted out of context by those same pundits.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CVGwZr_zk8 CTV host's hockey-hating, “white boy” rant on Don Cherry goes viral] at Rebel News YouTube channel</ref>  Allen was subsequently trashed on Twitter for her racist and anti-hockey comments (with a large number of posters calling for CTV to fire her from ''The Social'') after she first tried to dismissively blame those who criticized her for her comments and she refused to take responsibility for them,<ref>[https://twitter.com/jessieraeallen/status/1194420241658462213 Jessica Allen: "I hate to say it but a lot of you are proving the point I tried to make"] at Twitter</ref> then attempted to backpedal on the comments and offered a hollow, non-apology "apology" for them.<ref>[https://twitter.com/jessieraeallen/status/1194414141613707265 Jessica Allen: "I never said every white boy, just the ones whose unsavoury behaviour, which didn’t feel very Canadian, I witnessed"] at Twitter</ref>

*CTV, along with other Canadian news outlets, showed an abbreviated clip of dashcam video of the arrest by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations chief Allan Adam outside a casino in Fort McMurray, Alberta, which was intentionally presented out of context to make it appear as if the RCMP officers suddenly assaulted Adam just seconds after he got out of his truck, with one of the officers shown punching Adam in the face.  Independent journalist Spencer Fernando called CTV out for its dishonesty in presenting only the abbreviated video, which he accused the network of using in a calculated manner to deliberately stoke anger with viewers, insult their intelligence and divide them (though he did not excuse the actions of the officer who punched Adam in the face, stating that police officers have a responsibility that comes with their jobs).<ref>[https://www.spencerfernando.com/2020/06/12/establishment-media-shares-shortened-clip-of-chief-allan-adam-arrest-in-attempt-to-generate-rage-divide-canadians/ Establishment Media Shares Shortened Clip Of Chief Allan Adam Arrest In Attempt To Generate Rage & Divide Canadians]</ref>  Following the criticism, CTV News producer Rosa Hwang deleted a tweet on her Twitter account that presented the video clip out of context, followed soon after by CTV presenting the full 12-minute video of the incident, which showed Adam acting in a belligerent manner toward the officers for the first few minutes before he was arrested, presenting a very different context to the incident as opposed to what CTV originally tried to present before it was called out.<ref>[https://www.spencerfernando.com/2020/06/12/after-criticism-for-spreading-short-video-clip-ctv-news-exec-deletes-tweet-network-shares-full-video/ After Criticism For Spreading Short Video Clip, CTV News Exec Deletes Tweet & Network Shares Full Video]</ref>
