Something to remember the next time...

...CTV mounts a campaign to have you send in your gushy stories about one of the retiring journalistic "icons" on their payroll...
Then we went live to air and this man, earning probably more than $250,000 a year, read out what his producer had written word for word. It could have been anything at all.

And, frankly, if I’d replied to some question about war casualities with “My leg is made of cheese” he would have simply gone on to the next question.

I’d like to say that this was unique but, sadly, it isn’t.
Professional "journalists"... your moral & intellectual superiors.
