Opinion | Gone Girl: Why did CTV News drop famed anchor Lisa LaFlamme?

The sudden dismissal of Lisa LaFlamme, 58, as chief anchor and senior editor at CTV National News, andThe public termination of a much-loved figure in Canadian journalism was one thing. But a stricken LaFlamme had toWho jumped in suddenly to tweet how “excited” he was to get her job? Her replacement, Omar Sachedina, who may be a fine TV journalist but whose social skills match those of CTV management: awkward, off-putting, viewer-alienating.

They had apparently been distracted by LaFlamme’s continuing hotness, saying, according to The Beaverton, “Women over the age of fifty should not be anchoring the news, they should be taking it easy by knitting, gardening, or playing with their great-grandchildren.” Further afield, women are disappearing everywhere. J.K. Rowling, speaking in support of writer Salman Rushdie, nearly killed onstage last week, received even more death threats than usual.

HeatherMallick Nope, that's old news, pardon the pun, it's who's watching, the majority has become the minority and vise versa, CTV is pandering to that

HeatherMallick I have heard many call her a Trudeau sycophant

HeatherMallick Do people understand the controversies surrounding JK Rowling? It’s an inappropriate comparison when women journalists are going through what Rowling did in Canada— and also happen to not be horribly problematic. It distracts from the misogyny LaFlemme experienced.

HeatherMallick It is so unfair that Lisa LaFlamme gets terminated while talentless dimwitted dungheaps like Heather Mallick continue to puke out columns that get published.

HeatherMallick They fired her because she's a white Christian

HeatherMallick Ppl still watch TV news?!

HeatherMallick The jr syndrome…

HeatherMallick There's more women in broadcast than ever so I don't know what paint you're trying to stroke here...

HeatherMallick UGH i have NOT watched her droning emoting for years and years ... ugh good riddance
