Libel has to involve the communication of a false statement and the thing is, they never claimed Rob Ford smoked crack. They reported that someone was selling a video claiming Rob Ford was smoking crack, which was verified by a third party and then confirmed even by Rob Ford's staffers.
So how could they be sued for libel?
