Fascinating to read the Globe & Mail's reasoning and defense for publishing. I posted about libel laws and how it might relate to the Star a couple pages back, but as careful as the Star was in what they actually said, the G&M is doubly careful. The editor's letter basically addresses the key points of the responsible communication on matters of public interest defense, and the article itself goes out of its way to describe how every attempt to get comments from all sides were made.
I don't think it adds a lot to the case against Rob Ford, but it really does provide fascinating background.
