The sudden departure of a prominent public figure cannot be kept out of the news for long, even if an organization chooses to wait until after 5 p.m. to issue an official statement in an attempt to limit news coverage and reduce public scrutiny. It almost never works to the organization’s benefit.

Now do the “brown envelope” leak…

Unless it's critical (like a bomb went off or shooter), if something is newsworthy Friday, it should be newsworthy Tuesday...especially something as boring as the departure of a staff person. Perhaps 3-4 days gives a reporter time to analyze, ask questions and present a FULL story rather than repeating the press release that leaves more questions than answers? I don't get the panic for immediate partial news versus patient full reporting. But I'm not a journalist.
As for the post below from YS - I don't see how the City of Edmonton's use of an age old trick has anything to do with his nonsensical CBC conspiracy. But I shouldn't start any arguments with someone who gets their news from Rebel and think it is not controlled with an agenda.

Nice, you're a real piece of work by insulting and then saying you don't want to start an argument. Real intelligence. If you don't agree with it it is "nonsensical". You should work at CBC. Lol (you probably do)

Hello Grant. Even though it's childish, at least they report on it eventually. I don't know if it's just me but I find that many times there are newsworthy events going on around the world, in Canada and even in our province or city that is not on the regular news outlets. I find out about it on Rebel News or X or somewhere that isn't controlled by the government. This is just fuel to the fire that the CBC is paid for and biased to show what they are told to show and hide things from the people that "they" don't agree with. Reporting the news is a strategic game of chess now more than ever it seems, instead of unbiased truth for Canadians to absorb and make up their own minds. I just hope this type of control will stop at some point. - YS
