CBC interrupts Poilievre presser to cheerlead Carney’s poll numbers
On Thursday, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre told media to stop running “infomercials” for Carney every time officials “send a fax, hold a meeting, or fill out a form.”
The CBC drew criticism after cutting short a press conference by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, amid polling showing increased Conservative dissatisfaction with the broadcaster.
On Thursday, CBC interrupted Poilievre’s press conference to highlight strong polling for Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals.
Meanwhile, CBC carried his Liberal counterpart’s full press conference completely uninterrupted.
During the interruption, guest host Katie Nicholson quipped that the Conservative leader had “last day of school energy.”
Another CBC reporter pushed back on Poilievre’s criticism of Carney, saying attempts to paint the prime minister as a failure were undercut by his stronger approval ratings.
“There was a lot of trying to paint the Prime Minister as someone who has failed,” he said.
