"I'll give you an example that will interest you.
Last Thursday, the Canadiens played in Philadelphia. It's been less than a year. Martin St-Louis, the coach everyone loves, meets the other coach, John Tortorella, who has a bad reputation but is actually very nice. Martin played 12-15 years for him, so they hug and have fun before it starts.
The TVA Sports cameraman takes the footage, 30 seconds. It's cute, it's beautiful. You can make a story out of it. Chantal Machabée arrives and says, 'No-No-No. These are private images, and they won't air!'
Normally, you have the right to be rude, stupid, and say, 'Chantal, get lost! This is public, we're in a building, and we pay rights. This is for TVA and our viewers.' That would have been journalism.
The footage was never shown."
