Journalism, Toronto Star Style
July 5th, 2011
What’s that line about moral and intellectual superiors?
Ford said he had to miss the parade because of a family gathering at his cottage. A Star reporter did not spot
him there over three hours Sunday afternoon; when she approached as the family packed up their cars around 5:45 p.m., his niece Krista, daughter of Councillor Doug Ford, said he had gone to Huntsville. She guessed that he was shopping for groceries.
The Toronto Star sent a reporter to spy on Rob Ford. Charming.
And what did Mayor Ford miss? Fellows in cowboy boots with leather wanker rings and pink rape whistles.
Nasty those Star folk.
The word classless comes to mind.
