The wording of the report was, without doubt, vetted by the Star legal team before publication and contains a lot of ambiguity.
The Star handled it well.
Not even sure The Gawker guy is in trouble.
I do know Ford is in trouble. There isn't a single news source in Canada and most in the USA that hasn't reported the substance of this.
Th tape itself isn't worth much money now.
My two cents.

Things I know.
1. Said paper has axe to grind.
2. Said paper allowed reporter to publish false news of Pat Burn's death.
3. The news outlet with the highest integrity in the industry 60 minutes allowed one of the most esteemed news icons ever to report a false story.
I don't disagree probably is Ford. However, we can't let our brick and mortar news slide into the Perez Hilton levels of proof. It's going to bring us right back to the mid-1800's news quality if we do.
