Until we see the video it remains unproven. Especially with the Star who had the whole Ford beat up one of his players scandals and it proved false. The Star like the sun is not a Bastien for unbiased journalism. The Sun via the left, The Star via the right. Right now the eye witnesses who viewed the video are not the end all and be all of the truth.
I still do find it weird that the Star didn't pony up the cash for the exclusive first rights to the viedo, or that a bigger agency like QMI didn't lunge in and steal it right under their nose.
I laugh at how people are demanding that Ford should address this crack thing, what's he going to do besides what he's done now? Sit there for hours continually saying "It wasn't me"
The Toronto Star has probably already made a ton of money on this thing without the video, but at some point, they're going to have to produce.
