Rebels counter narrative on Leaders' debate chaos after media scrum shutdown
The leaders' debate commissioner cancelled yesterday's scrum to avoid our questions, neglecting his duty to the public.
Rebel News recaps the second leaders' debate in Montreal, tonight on The Ezra Levant Show.
We had to fight to get into the leaders' debate, for the past two days. It's controlled by Liberals, and they don’t take too kindly to outsiders.
They repeatedly attempted to block Rebel News, but our lawyers fought back.
Rebel News has filed a formal complaint with @debates_can Commissioner Michel Cormier over the harassment, violence, and smear campaign our journalists faced at the leaders’ debates. The media mob attacked us—the Commissioner not only enabled it, he participated in the smear. pic.twitter.com/04Q727vRTl

The establishment twice lost in court to the publication for discrimination and then tried to shut us down.
The questions were off the government narrative, so the regime media were angry for the ensuing 24 hours.
They were angry that Rebel News had taken over their event by asking four out of seventeen questions on Wednesday.
The commissioner cancelled yesterday's scrum to avoid our questions, neglecting his duty to the public. Some members of the Media Party blamed Rebel News for this, and they caused a bit of a kerfuffle.
Some reporters asked why Rebel News registered our telephone fundraising with Elections Canada.
I’ve been asked by some people why Rebel News Network Ltd. has registered as a third party campaign in the election. The answer might surprise you — it surprised me.

Rebel has a call centre that phones our subscribers year-round. They told us that some of those conversations…

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-04-19 01:46:45 -0400After seeing a number of videos of the reactions to what happened with the post-debate media scrum yesterday, one can safely conclude that the days of gentlemanly reporting, typified by the work of people like Norman DePoe and Charles Lynch, are a thing of the past.
The vitriol and language used to describe Rebel News, and Ezra Levant in particular, would never have been tolerated 50 years ago. Then again, journalists were allowed free and independent thought back then. -
Jerry Purvis commented 2025-04-18 23:40:18 -0400Great job Rebels! Once again you exposed the regime media for what it is: smug, arrogant and condescending. It’s the same here in the states. As someone explained that attitude to me, if liars’ pants really did catch on fire, the news would be a lot more fun to watch.

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-04-18 23:21:15 -0400Did any of them actually see how that nutbar reporter for The Hill verbally attack Keane Bexte and, then, Ezra Levant? No doubt, the presence of Juno and Rebel were considered unprovoked acts of violence.
By the looks of things, the leftist media finally has the January 6th type of incident that it’s been craving for years. -

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-04-18 21:05:02 -0400Is there a way to put a lanyard on a cell phone? These leftist brutes can’t stand the truth. No wonder it unleashes the demons inside it.
What a lie too about Rebel News creating a “security incident.” Had the legacy media nuts not gone bullistic, the scrum would have went on as usual. It was the leftist loons who caused that supposed security incident.
It’s the practice of losers to blame the victors for their loss. It wasn’t “illegitimit” media people who asked questions not mentioned in the debate who were at fault. Legacy media losers were asking questions which the Canadian public didn’t care about. So they figured that only their questions mattered. Don’t we citizens diserve and expect answers from those contesting for the top job? And who are these bozos who decide which questions are to be asked and which aren’t?
Independent news organizations are supported by donations and some ad revenue. No Canadian is forced to give money. In that way, it’s legitimit to say that independents are doing REAL journalism while the legacy outfits get government support and decreasing ad revenue.
Ezra nailed it too about the CBC. Independent media aren’t like them so that’s why legacy firms hate them. And it’s a lie that Rebel News, not Rebel Media, has no television production experience. Ezra and David worked for Sun News. What liars CBC reporters are! -
Nicola Timmerman commented 2025-04-18 20:39:08 -0400Our household just resubscribed to Rebel News after the incredible smearing of Rebel going on by the media. I believe Ezra said the Commissioner asked to speak to him about the English debate and he offered to let him ask one question and Ezra agreed. So why cancel the scrum and why no journalist presented what Ezra said not making a fuss about getting more questions?
And Menzies getting attacked again? Crazy. -
susan gerbes commented 2025-04-18 20:10:18 -0400David what-his-name from CBC said that these ‘right-winger’ media have been ‘rage-farming’ for several years. Talk about calling the kettle black….at least Rebel tells the truth, NO disinformation or misinformation, instead of taking tax dollars with no guilt associated as the MSM does…..
