Changes

From its 1974 launch, Global has grown to its current level of 15 stations owned by Corus, along with one independently-owned affiliate. [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador]] independent station CJON-DT is also supplied with some Global programming, though it is not branded as such on the station (except for national newscast ''Global National'') but is instead marketed as syndicated programming.

Once a bastion for fair reporting in its newscasts, Global, 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.

*When the election campaign bus of Canadian Prime Minister [[Justin Trudeau]] was recently blocked by Aboriginal protesters during a campaign stop in [[Victoria, British Columbia|Victoria]], Global News political correspondent David Akin (who is also a member of the [[NDP]]-supporting media union Unifor, which has engaged in conflict of interest by producing election campaign ads attacking the [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservatives]]<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/ezra_levant_show_august_23_2021 Why didn’t mainstream media report when Aboriginal protests blocked Trudeau’s campaign bus?] at Rebel News</ref>) falsely claimed online that the bus had not been blocked and that video posted of the blockade by the protesters was "fake news" despite being present at the event.<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/trudeau_campaign_bus_blocked_by_indigenous_activists Trudeau campaign bus blocked by Indigenous activists] at Rebel News</ref>  Akin was called out for his dishonesty soon after he made his claim online, with Rebel News reporters Sheila Gunn Reid and Efron Monsanto calling Akin fake news for his comments while videographer Mocha Bezirgan replied to Akin by pointing out to him that he was not telling the truth, then posted a half-hour time-lapse video of the incident showing the protesters' actions; rather than retract his lie or apologize, Akin, showing himself unwilling to face or accept the truth, responded by indignantly blocking Bezirgan from his Twitter account.

*When the Trudeau campaign was confronted by protesters at a later campaign stop in White Rock, British Columbia, Global News reporter Abigail Bimman, who was in White Rock to cover the campaign, falsely claimed in a Twitter post that one of the protesters had yelled an anti-Semitic slur at Trudeau, a claim which was discredited in video posted by Rebel News in response.<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/protesters_chase_prime_minister_trudeau_out_of_british_columbia_event Protesters chase Prime Minister Trudeau out of British Columbia event] at Rebel News</ref>  After the video was posted, Bimman doubled down on her lie in response, insisting that she had heard an anti-Semitic slur used by one of the protesters, which was also debunked by Rebel News reporter Matt Brevner (who stated that he heard no such comments ever used by the protesters against Trudeau).  Bimman's tweet was also heavily criticized by numerous posters in response,<ref>[https://twitter.com/AbigailBimman/status/1430583926230159360 Abigail Bimman: "Trudeau marched by police all the way down street away from announcement site and around the corner before getting in a vehicle as he was surrounded and screamed at by protesters the whole time"] at Twitter ('''Warning:''' Contains liberal fake news and some tweets with foul language)</ref> with many of them calling Bimman out for lying as they stated that they heard no anti-Semitic slurs yelled in the video as claimed by Bimman, but that one of the anti-Trudeau protesters had actually yelled that the protesters did not want a two-tiered society, referencing the unconstitutional mandating of "vaccine passports" by Trudeau and his provincial counterparts.

Global has also come under criticism as one of numerous Canadian media outlets, large and small, that took bribe money from Justin Trudeau (totaling nearly C$660 million) to cover for him in news reports (including asking him "softball" questions while whitewashing and ignoring the numerous scandals he has faced while in power) and spout the same [[fake news]], lies and twisting of narratives already being spewed by the CBC.<ref>Multiple references:
