Rachel Gilmore lost a position she fully earned since CTV News capitulated after CPC numpty Sebastian Skamski summoned the flying monkeys and sock puppets. Like Gilmore says, newsrooms must stand by their journalists.

Or else they will not stand for anything.

Skamski’s tweet provided nothing to substantiate his description of Gilmore as a “disgraced disinformation peddler” or as a liar – nor his suggestion that CTV News is working to help elect the Liberals.

Neither Poilievre’s campaign nor Skamski, who served as Poilievre’s spokesperson until recently being quietly shuffled out of that position, responded to requests from PressProgress asking for information to substantiate Skamski’s statements or to clarify if his statements were pre-approved by Poilievre’s campaign.
