In 2010, no one had a bigger hard-on for the guy. But now when he's having these secret lunch meetings for $5000 put on by someone just appointed to a cushy job as a chair of a city board, and he's telling me I'm stupid because I think that's wrong...well yeah, I guess my mind has changed on him.
It's easy to say someone's wrong and that the event is a non-issue. But as a private citizen, I'm being told by that evil mainstream media that Nenshi approached his pal, who was newly appointed to a nice city job as a chair, and told him to host an exclusive access event to people who could afford to donate thousands of dollars. I'm not the only one concerned, at least one watchdog jumped on this as well. So if you know something I don't, and maybe this was all a misunderstanding, let us know. Help us out.

If you know all this (you've described a sarcastic scenario with hyperbole for effect), then you would also know to take what the media says with a side of caution, since they have an agenda as well. Almost all media outlets do. Or do you just buy into this stuff hook, line and sinker without a personal, critical analysis?
I don't need to divulge info on this matter on a public message board, and if you don't like that, I couldn't care any less. The point is for you to be more mindful in the future about what you assume to be true, versus what the facts actually are. You think you have all the answers, but I actually know you don't.
