“Why are you so sure how your son died?” a CTV Newsnet host asked Avril Stachnik on Tuesday night. “I’m so sorry to have to ask you these questions.”Professional journalists... our moral & intellectual superiors.
The host then said the situation was "forced upon them" by WikiLeak’s online release of documents, one of which erroneously described the deaths of four fine Canadians in September, 2006, as a “friendly-fire” accident.
Thank gawd for Christie Blatchford.
