      I meant this part:

      …what followed was weeks of relentless harassment flooding my inboxes, demanding that I be fired, claiming that “people like me should not exist.”

      Some said they knew where I lived.

      I forwarded every message to my managers, every time requesting four things: for advice and support on how to deal with the harassment, for CTV to issue a cease-and-desist letter to HRC, clarification on whether there were any rules against showing a keffiyeh or Palestinian flag on TV, and whether leadership stood behind my coverage.

      Each time, I was met with silence or indifference.

      If someone threatens my co-workers, I take it seriously.
