When HonestReporting Canada targeted me with a harassment campaign, Management at CTV Montreal broke their own rules to accommodate the lobby group.

I meant this part:

…what followed was weeks of relentless harassment flooding my inboxes, demanding that I be fired, claiming that “people like me should not exist.”

Some said they knew where I lived.

I forwarded every message to my managers, every time requesting four things: for advice and support on how to deal with the harassment, for CTV to issue a cease-and-desist letter to HRC, clarification on whether there were any rules against showing a keffiyeh or Palestinian flag on TV, and whether leadership stood behind my coverage.

Each time, I was met with silence or indifference.

If someone threatens my co-workers, I take it seriously.
