CBC caught LYING in attempt to smear Sir John A. Macdonald defenders
The public broadcaster tried luring conservatives into participating in what they believed was a documentary about Sir John A. Macdonald—only to use the footage against them
The CBC is being accused of deliberately misleading conservative participants into taking part in what they believed was a legitimate documentary about Sir John A. Macdonald.
Participants say they were approached under false pretences and agreed to be interviewed for what they understood to be a serious historical project. Instead, particpants allege the footage was repurposed to portray defenders of Canada’s first prime minister in a negative light.
Rebel News editor-in-chief Sheila Gunn Reid joins Marc Patrone to discuss what the CBC’s tactics reveal about media ethics and transparency, and why critics say the episode raises broader concerns about trust in public broadcasting and how political narratives are shaped in Canadian media.
