OPINION / ANALYSIS

A reporter from Global is showing Canadians that fake news truly is the enemy of the people.

Rachel Gilmore, a left-wing “journalist” employed by Global News, falsely accused veteran and anti-mandate activist James Topp of having links to the extreme right.

To back up her claims, she pointed to the fact Topp appeared on Jeremy Mackenzie’s podcast. However, just because Topp appeared on Jeremy Mackenzie’s podcast doesn’t mean Topp has links to the extreme right.

UPDATED: “It’s deeply concerning that a mainstream politician is aligning with and showing support for the movement that birthed the so-called freedom convoy,” said Elizabeth Simons, deputy director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.https://t.co/v6UZJQr2FM

Appearing on someone’s podcast isn’t necessary an endorsement of the podcaster’s views. Gilmore’s report relies on the old “guilt-by-association” tactic that the left is infamous for.

Gilmore makes no attempts to hide her left-leaning views. On Twitter, this supposed “journalist” is often observed fighting with right-wing figures such as Ezra Levant.

Rachel is not an impartial voice on the Freedom Convoy. Same with Alex Boutilier. There's clear bias/vendetta in their remarks

Global requires reporters remain "professionally detached and fair" in their ethics code so why are these two "reporters" allowed to lead on this file? https://t.co/Syr7AFXHPE

On Thursday Gilmore pulled an AOC and asked Levant if he had a romantic interest in her. This is not the first time she has poked at big name figures in the conservative media.

Ezra do you have a crush on me or something https://t.co/YFkmU3HV5A

Earlier this year, Gilmore was accused of spreading a fake news story about a supposed arson in Ottawa, falsely linking it to the Freedom Convoy. The report was debunked by independent journalists.
