FWIW, I don't think CP24 is "pro-Ford" so much as that:
a) they're the weakest journalists in town (save Warmington, obviously!)
b) they live and die by the constant live-eye coverage Ford gives them

Like, I don't know that the owners of CNN are "pro-war" but they sure do like a good war to juice the ratings. And people rightfully slam LeDrew for his softballs but LeDrew isn't even really a journalist. So, the end result might all be the same but it's worth remembering how good Katie Simpson was and just looking around at the world we live in.

I disagree. They misrepresent and sugar coat nearly every damn thing that comes out of the man's mouth.
 
i agree that cp24 can suck, but... they are the only ones (from what i've seen so far) that are reporting this part of the gfl killing...

The vehicle in question is a green GFL Environmental Inc. truck that was reversing south on O’Keefe Lane. The lane is a one-way street running north from Shuter to Yonge-Dundas Square.

With Soks gone, I think Ford realizes he's done. That support won't go to Ford, and even he must know that he can't win. So either he comes up with a doctor's note, or something else will happen to allow him to save his "pride".
His defeat is going to be humiliating, and I can't wait. Normally, I don't enjoy watching people self-destruct, but I've made an exception for the entire Ford family.

Mayor Ford's whereabouts unknown today. Campaign not saying. Will not attend tomorrow's Mayor's faith breakfast or Variety Village debate.

He even backed out of the faith breakfast!

What bugs me is how earnestly they report this, as though Tyson actually gives a crap. He is in town for his one-man show and he is drumming up publicity. That morning he and his agent said "hmmm, what can we do to get you on television today?" That's it. And that goes for literally hundreds of things celebrities say, yet it's reported as though it were straight news.
