Fired Former Global News Director Anita Krishna, testified COVID coverage was selective and slanted
Former Global News Director Anita Krishna, with 25 years of experience, testified at the National Citizen Inquiry that during the COVID-19 pandemic, “our stories were slanted,” “we shoved propaganda in your face,” and that working for the broadcaster “was like working in the twilight zone.”
A former Global TV News control room director told the National Citizens Inquiry she was told to be quiet after raising questions about her network’s coverage of the pandemic.
Anita Krishna got her degree from Ryerson (now Toronto Metropolitan University) and had a career in journalism lasting 25 years. She worked for a few years at Global starting in 1997, and after a few years’ hiatus returned to Global News in 2007.
Krishna, who was a control room director for news broadcasts in Burnaby, BC, said from the day WHO declared the pandemic, coverage seemed to prompt panic. In successive segments, the prime minister appeared to say he would take care of the country, the federal health minister warned 30 to 70% of people could get the disease, and social distancing was recommended.

“In one minute we’d like felt … panic, fear, like just trying to scare everybody when … I could see that nothing was really happening yet,” Krishna told the NCI on its second day of hearings in Ottawa May 18.
“I didn’t see anybody in my community that had it. I didn’t know anybody that had it… These crazy measures and these fear tactics were coming fast and furious. And it was also right around that time that all the sports had canceled.”
Krishna said her “gut instinct” was this was a “massive overreaction” but “nobody seemed to question that hysteria.”
“As time wore on, it just seemed to be that there were things that we were not reporting. So you can easily find these things on the internet … but for some reason our own newscast, we’re neglecting to tell people,” she said, the possibility of a leak from the Wuhan lab being one example.
“I just thought, how can we neglect to tell people that? How can we lead people to believe something which is not 100% accurate … about several things… We were not reporting this other side, just to so many pieces of the story.”
