Former Journalist Blows the Whistle on CBC’s COVID-19 Coverage

Marianne Klowak presents at National Citizens Inquiry

“On February 27 of this year, papers with hundreds of profiles of suspected COVID vaccine injuries and deaths were plastered onto the doors and windows of CBC Toronto. I had a really hard time looking at those pictures, because that to me was proof and evidence that the public had trusted us and they had listened and some of them paid dearly for it. I waited to see, is CBC going to cover this? Is any media going to cover this? How could you ignore this? It was just unconscionable and appalling that NOBODY covered it!”

– former CBC journalist Marianne Klowak. (From this week’s interview.)

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

 

In the television science fiction series Star Trek: The Next Generation in an episode entitled The Drumhead, an explosion happened in the dilithium chamber of the spaceship and was believed to be an act of sabotage. During the perilous period of the time, the high profile retired rear admiral from the Legal Division of its Support Services Section, Norah Satie, led the investigation to identify the cause. Although the Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge identified the cause of the explosion was essentially fatigue and not sabotage, and the Captain Picard considered the matter resolved, Satie doubled down trying to pursue a network of traitors.. [1]

This proceeded to the point where an innocent medical technician and even Picard himself was brought to the stand. During a grilling from Satie, she behaved so fanatically as to cause the political ally of Satie, Admiral Henry, to walk out and ultimately halt the investigation.

This episode, for me, invokes the spirit of the age when fear and suspicion can lead people to embrace scenarios that cause harm to innocent human beings. Think the Witch Hunt of the medieval era. Or the McCarthy era.

The guest of this latest episode of the Global Research News Hour reminds us of how the Mainstream media organization in Canada, the CBC, plays a role in destroying the lives of countless individuals across the country through their mainstream media coverage of the recent pandemic. [2]

Journalist Marianne Klowak explains in an hour long interview for the National Citizens Inquiry: Canada’s Response to COVID-19. Listeners and viewers were let down by their refusal to air their own stories during her broadcasts. And she was never allowed to interview experts who, because they did not agree with the standard COVID-19 narrative, (not unlike the people interviewed on this show) were not considered experts and were even referred to as “anti-vaxxers” and “disinformation artists.” [3]

In 2021, Klowak decided she had had enough. She quit CBC after more than thirty years of good service and acted as a whistleblower…in the very few forums she had available to her. It is the distinct pleasure on this edition of the Global Research News Hour to play a slightly edited version (due to length) of her testimony to the National Citizens Inquiry to the attention of our listeners. It was presented at the Inquiry in Ottawa on the second day, following other journalists James Corbett and Rodney Palmer.

The complete testimony is available here:

Marianne Klowak had been a radio and television journalist for CBC Winnipeg for 25 years. She previously worked at CBC Saskatoon and before that as an anchor and journalist for CKX Brandon.
