Téléjournal resignations become epic
Percolating over the last week was the story of the resignation of Pascale Nadeau from Radio‑Canada’s Téléjournal Weekend. The reasons were widely debated in media and social media. How much could be believed about a report about her “victims”? Now La Presse reveals that Nadeau was a difficult person to work with, citing seven people who had done so.
In counterpoint with the Nadeau story is Stéphan Bureau, who is also resigning at Radio‑Canada. He had been blamed, as far as I can see, for presenting a segment in which a controversial French doctor was allowed to talk nonsense about some foolish and unsupported Covid treatment, without mentioning that these were not accepted medical ideas. I’m not sure why this was followed by outrage from a couple of Journal columnists, but it too blew up into something of a cause célèbre.

She may have been a demanding boss for a famously thin-skinned group (journalists), who live and breath gossip, and whose younger members literally break down when someone points out that they’re not doing their job properly? She may have been fired because they were just sick of her?
How much attention this is getting would be more interesting if the media would just get to the point of why they think it’s so interesting.

Your assumptions are riddled with bias, david.

fvck the SRC and the CBC and the socialist ladder-climbing meat grinder political hamster wheel. you’re all a bunch of opportunistic ethically bankrupt children who use woke politics to stick the butter knives in each others backs at the most opportune times while shilling the establishment talking points. I’d like to see you all begging on the street or in bread lines.
