Interesting to continue to watch the uproar over CTV News firing of Lisa LaFlamme -- today, more revelations: First, Bell Media is stressed out because everyone has been so mean to them and nobody UNDERSTANDS how DIFFICULT it is to run a media company these days....

Amazingly, this statement didn't increase anyone's sympathy for Bell Media:

You fired her because one of your spoiled little boys has a hissy fit over her hair colour and her assertiveness. Obviously, you fired the wrong person.

One thing BellMedia doesn't seem to understand is just how delighted the rest of Canadian media always are whenever a big media company stumbles and steps in it. The stories will just go on and on:
