Why are you blaming Bell and not the reporter?  He could have had access to all the same elements and people as City, right?  And it's not like CTV had to scramble last minute to do the story - they had all day, didn't they?    

It's more their entire approach these days.    With few exceptions, they lack the depth they used to have.    Their coverage of many issues has been little more than sound bytes.    Even their reporting of the COVID numbers lacks context, seemingly shouting big numbers every day without perspective or analysis has been the rule.   For example, until recently the 7-day rolling average number of cases was the most relevant and the best they do is avoid that and read raw numbers from a PowerPoint slide.   Increasing?  Decreasing?  They can't be bothered to say.   Anybody who has done presentations knows that's the way to bore people to death.
