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 name="anti-lockdown rodeo">[https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1388868113756786690 1.

*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"/>
