*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 in what the networks were claiming was a "racist" incident to try to smear the RCMP.  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 and threatening manner toward the officers (who had originally arrived to speak to Adam about an expired license plate on his truck), refusing to obey orders and even assaulting one of the officers, all while apparently under the influence of alcohol, 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>

*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"/>
