Candice Malcolm: The legacy media has blood on its hands

Premiered Sep 17, 2025

Candice Malcolm joined Sauga 960 AM’s Marc Patrone Show to call out the Canadian media’s shameful coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Instead of treating it as a moment of national grief, outlets like CBC rushed to publish hit pieces and rehash old smears, sending the message that Kirk somehow brought it on himself. Candice says this reaction isn’t an isolated mistake: it reflects a deeper culture inside legacy media. For years, the establishment press has branded conservatives as “far-right” or “fascist,” fuelling hostility and creating a climate where political violence can be excused. By refusing to acknowledge the gravity of this moment, she argues, the media revealed their own bias and contempt for millions of ordinary Canadians who share mainstream values. She warns that this cannot go unanswered. When journalists label people extremists simply for being conservative, they put a target on their backs and embolden those who would resort to violence. Instead of staying silent, Candice urges Canadians to push back, expose the dishonesty of legacy outlets, and strengthen independent media that will defend free expression and tell the truth.
