You said it right there, I am allowed to mistrust that source especially when the editor says that he basically didn't know Rob Ford from Henry Ford.

A news paper with falling subscription rates and revenues that has had an ongoing war in the past, and also accused Ford of beating a one of his players up which turned out to be a lie later. You question Fords integrity fine, but there is a lot of integrity questions with the Star. Plus again no video, and an advertisement in a online classified looking for a Rob Ford look alike to star in a independent movie where he would smoke a cigar and chuckle into the camera that was placed last year.

with the above credibility issues and questions. Who apparently raced to publish and go after the mayor before securing the video.

Make fun of TO all you want, but this is a major city, and having a glorified hooligan etobicoke mafia running it is something that completely deserves to be brought to light (let alone Doug's provincial politics agenda).

Good for you, and maybe being far away from Toronto and removed from the Rob Ford circus there is a lack of impartiality that you don't have.

Huh, this makes entirely no sense, your saying that some of us are stupid for not performing the proper due diligence and wanting to see the actual proof of the act instead of believing the journalists? that makes zero sense.
Your not performing due diligence by not being suspicious of shoddy work by the Star which I think is an insult to rational thought.
