Former Canadian Broadcast Company (CBC) reporter Marianne Klowak spoke recently at the National Citizens’ Inquiry (a Canadian anti-mandate group). Her talk was more of a confessional, as her tense voice dramatically described the irresistible pressure on reporters to conform during the pandemic and help spread government propaganda and misinformation.

For instance, Marianne explained how she was made to ignore vaccine-injured citizens who contacted her directly for help getting their stories out:

“I felt the crushing burden and the weight of their truth not being given a voice. I felt I had failed these people as a journalist. I had witnessed in a very short time a collapse of journalism, news gathering, and investigative reporting. The way I saw it, we were pushing propaganda. To define propaganda: it’s information, ideas, opinions or images that give one part of an argument, which are broadcast, published, in order to influence opinion.”
