CTV National News has issued an “irrevocable apology” and removed two members of its team after an internal investigation found they had altered a video of Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre. The Conservatives had earlier said they wouldn’t give interviews to CTV News or deal with its parent company Bell if they don’t receive an “unequivocal apology” over the incident.
“A report on Sunday’s CTV National News broadcast did not meet our expected and required high editorial standards,” the network said in a Sept. 26 statement.
