The Rebel up for a bit of reboot, says outlet founder Ezra Levant
OTTAWA — The founder of the online news site The Rebel admits its content and management need more oversight in the wake of a string of controversies.
One reporter was fired, another founder quit and two other contributors resigned last week after the outlet came under intense criticism for its coverage of deadly protests in Virginia.
While some believed the outlet to be on its last legs, Rebel founder Ezra Levant said late Tuesday that’s not the plan.
“I’m a flawed leader who has made mistakes,” he wrote in a post on the conservative news site late Tuesday.
