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]] and dishonesty in certain reports it has filed.   

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]] and dishonesty in certain reports it has filed.  [[Rebel News]] head Ezra Levant has even said that like the rest of the [[liberal media]] the network has since joined, CTV reporters can no longer be trusted because it cannot be determined if they are simply asking questions for their news reports or if they are willingly gathering intel to pass along to police forces.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1388991821905342466 Ezra Levant: "When CTV reporters show up, you really don’t know if they’re asking questions for the news, or to pass their intel on to the police.

*In a press conference with [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal]] environment minister Catherine McKenna, CTV Ottawa reporter Mike Arsalides engaged in journalistic unprofessionalism by asking softball questions of McKenna while simultaneously belittling Rebel News reporter Keean Bexte, then was seen on camera putting on a smug and arrogant expression as he looked toward the Rebel News camera.  Arsalides was also caught on camera interrupting and disrespecting Bexte when the latter tried asking tough questions of McKenna, following up on his disgraceful behavior after the conference by telling Bexte point-blank that "(he had) no credibility" and falsely calling Rebel News "fake news", then he started getting personal against Bexte by dragging Bexte's mother into his argument.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve89XeD7NlU CTV News reporter MELTS DOWN after Rebel News asks McKenna tough questions] at Rebel News YouTube channel</ref>
