I don't care what people say, looks and appearance matter in the media, on tv and in show business. There are reasons why they all have clothing budgets, professional hair and makeup people, stylists and more. It's a visual thing and that's the way it is.

I'll just go out and say it, Natasha is a FOX! She know's, I know it and other's know it. She was excellent on TSN, I will miss her on the desk and I wish her well. I am sure she will get back in front of the camera in some capacity soon.

As for other Bell Media cuts and the media landscape in general, we need to have an open and honest conversation at the federal level as to what needs to be done. We are literally chewing out our entire media talent in this country as American companies continue to take over in the FB, Google and more space. It doesn't benefit anybody to think otherwise what is happening is good.

Also, what is up with our weak federal leadership with regards to these taxpayer subsidies and these large corporations? Are they that useless that they couldn't negotiate some longer term employment in exchange for wage and income support programs? I love how the best we can do in exchange for sending billions to corporations is hold them responsible for their contractual obligations like Air Canada and Westjet for refunds.
