This was also true of Sarmite Bulte. I believe she lost her seat because of the scrutiny she received -- in my opinion, all justified. Interesting that the mainstream media reportage seemed almost secondary to the coverage given online. Also interesting how quiet the CBC was on the Sam Bulte story. I don't remember hearing them cover the story at all -- even when it was raging in the press and online. I wonder if they were trying to appear balanced or trying to appease their content providers?
