The Debate Commission's oversight on Rebel News' advocacy status is a glaring failure. Their influence was obvious—yet ignored. This undermines electoral integrity. #CdnPoli #DebateCommission #RebelNews

Post-debate news conferences cancelled over safety concerns YouTube video by CBC News: The National

UPDATE:

"The standard post-debate news conferences between federal leaders were cancelled on Thursday due to concerns about the 'environment' of the scrums. The move came after several altercations between journalists throughout the day."

The biggest loser in the debates is the #DebateCommission — after yesterday’s shambolic scrum.

Hopefully it's a nail in the coffin for Rebel News & True North who are thugs chasing fundraising clips, not journalists.

Their antics killed tonight’s scrums. Commission must do more.

🔴 LIVE: Federal leaders English-language debate analysis YouTube video by CBC News

David Cochrane interviewed head of #DebateCommission, Michel Cormier, facing pushback from 🇨🇦's & Green Party leader. Many say Cormier should resign. He thinks they did a great job, but his interview wasn’t convincing. Watch it at the start of this special edition of PnP. David held him accountable.

Michel Cormier flailing on CBC right now & admitting to caving to RWNJs. Just pathetic. Hold his feet to the fire. Shame the living fuck out of him.

Right-wing media including Rebel News dominate post-debate news conferences | CBC News Rebel News and other right-wing media outlets dominated the question-and-answer sessions with federal party leaders after Wednesday's French-language leaders' debate — though not all of them got answe...

Rebel News & True North threatened legal action and monopolized the post-debate scrum, giving Poilievre friendly questions while other leaders faced divisive ones. The Leaders' #DebateCommission allowed this imbalance. They must take responsibility for letting it happen.

We don’t want 🇨🇦 to slide into U.S.-style chaos, polarization, and disinformation.

Yesterday’s post-debate scrum was a warning: far-right actors hijacked the media space, drowning out truth & civility.

Glad CBC hosts called out the #DebateCommission. 🇨🇦 needs a strong, independent #CBC.
