Well, well, well......this is interesting. Wait for it! CTV is cited for ethics breach for inaccurate reporting on Donald Trump. On Sept 9/20 CTV reported that Trump downplayed the threat of Covid-19 by "calling the virus a hoax". There was no evidence that Trump called the virus a hoax according to the Canada Broadcast Standards Council. Trump's comments about a hoax were 6 months earlier in regards to the Democrats efforts to politicize the President's response to the pandemic, "their new hoax" he said. He had also made comments about an "impeachment hoax".
There is no penalty for the ethics breach. CTV must announce the Council's decision in a future broadcast.
