I am sure it's already a pain trying to do a news report in public without people interrupting you, yelling, honking etc.
If you're trying to capitalize on being "on the scene" then don't bitch when "the scene" doesn't cooperate. Just like they're allowed to film me in a public space, I'm allowed to do whatever the #### I want in said public space as long as it's in the confines of the law (this unwanted touching obviously isn't).

I think everyone who is saying that CBC is just reacting this strongly to try and deter people from doing stuff like this in the future but using this incident as a way to champion this cause is some extra level of stupid and I'll be surprised if their campaign raises any sort of outcry.

It's a kiss on the cheek that missed. Get your pitchforks everyone
