It is interesting CTV seems to be working very hard....
to ignore the firestorm they started now that their ethics/credibility has come into question. I checked both CBC and CTV websites and found CBC's top story is:

Government will probe 'entire' NAFTA leak: PM

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/03/06/memo-leak.html

The NAFTA debacle is nowhere to be found on CTV's main page:

1. CTV has finally responded and their article has one BIG gaping hole...
the Brodie comments which started the whole firestorm. The article infers the memo "leak" is what Brodie was speaking about and that is a deliberate distortion of the facts as reported by both the Globe and Mail and CBC.

"Harper made the suggestion on Thursday in the House of Commons, where opposition MPs hounded the government over the reports of the apparent involvement of Ian Brodie -- the prime minister's chief of staff -- in the so-called NAFTA-gate affair."

snip

"On Tuesday, Harper told the House of Commons that Brodie wasn't responsible for the leak of the memo -- which observers say harmed the campaign of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama, who lost recently to Hillary Clinton in the Ohio and Texas primaries."

(Had to reply to my own OP as the time to edit had exspired, it took CTV that long to actually put anything on their website on this)
