==Criticism of liberal bias, journalistic unprofessionalism, racism and sexism==
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, and are now even hated by much of the public,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1388868113756786690 1. CTV calls the police on the anti-lockdown rodeo. 2. CTV complains that people at the rodeo dare to take their picture.

*In one report in which former Rebel News reporter [[Faith Goldy]] was viciously attacked and assaulted by far-Left [[Antifa]] rioters who showed up to crash an anti-illegal immigration protest in Quebec at the Canada-United States border and fight with the protesters,<ref>[https://www.therebel.media/media_s_true_allegiance_revealed_in_antifa_s_violent_attack_on_faith_goldy Media’s “true allegiance” revealed in Antifa’s violent attack on Faith Goldy] at the Rebel Media ('''Warning:''' Video contains coarse language and violence)</ref> CTV Montreal reporter Angela MacKenzie whitewashed the incident in her Twitter account by downplaying and minimizing Antifa's actions (including their calls to throw Goldy into moving traffic), calling them "counter-protestors" instead of the rioters and criminals they are (and even refused to identify them as Antifa) and used the leftist term "far-Right" (a smear term used by the Left to refer to conservatives) to refer to Goldy.

*The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council ruled that CTV had violated the Council's code of ethics after a complainant pointed out that network reporter Joy Malbon had deliberately misrepresented the words of US President [[Donald Trump]] by claiming that Trump had said the [[coronavirus]] (specifically, [[COVID-19]]) was a "hoax" and that the network's newscasts, in doing so, displayed complete disdain for the President.<ref>[https://tnc.news/2021/01/28/ctv-broke-ethics-code-in-biased-report-on-former-president-trump/ CTV broke ethics code in biased report on former president Trump] at True North</ref> In fact, Trump had never said that, but instead said that the [[Democrat]]s' politicization of the outbreak was a hoax. While CTV subsequently admitted wrongdoing for the presentation of that report, it denied the complainant's accusation against it about having disdain for Trump. In response to CTV's denial, online conservative news site True North pointed out that the network, along with other Canadian liberal media outlets (particularly including the CBC), displayed journalistic unprofessionalism by blatantly fawning over the illegitimate installation of [[Joe Biden]] following the [[Democrat election fraud|Democrat theft]] of the [[2020 presidential election]] while obnoxiously ridiculing Trump.<ref>[https://tnc.news/2021/01/20/canadian-msm-journalists-fawn-over-biden-inauguration/ Canadian MSM journalists fawn over Biden inauguration] at True North</ref>

*CTV Calgary reporter Kathy Le drew some criticism on Twitter for a biased report she gave about a rodeo that took place near the town of Bowden, Alberta, where she was critical of the rodeo being held, as well as its attendance figures (which also included no social distancing or face masks), in defiance of the [[CCP flu]] lockdown edicts of Alberta "conservative" premier [[Jason Kenney]] (despite recent reports revealing that lockdowns, face masks and social distancing do not work).<ref name="CTV reporters"/> One critic compared Le to similar types who informed Nazi authorities about [[Anne Frank]] and her family hiding out above her father's office in Amsterdam during World War II when criticizing Le for ratting out the rodeo attendees.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MikeHansen613/status/1388995450968096775 Mike Hansen: "Someone just like you alerted authorities that the Frank family was hiding in someone's attic"] at Twitter</ref> Likewise, fellow CTV Calgary reporters Chris Epp and Timm Bruch drew criticism for their involvement in unjustly criticizing the rodeo; Epp was called out for snitching on rodeo attendees as Le did, while Burch was criticized for displaying hypocrisy in showing willingness to expose the identities of those who went to the rodeo, but complaining when he was filmed in turn by many of the rodeogoers in response.<ref name="anti-lockdown rodeo"/>
