Rob Ford's Toronto

[christiesplits]

Well, it wasn't a hard guess.

Sun News has little to no journalism value. They pride themselves on "Straight Talk." And more importantly, they need viewership, badly.

Yeah Sun News. Seriously. After THIS Editorial

If I were them, I'd be worried that the Fords would say something libellous on their show and get the station sued.

The Argos want Ford to stop wearing his jersey.

Santa doesn't want him, the Argos don't want him. Who's next?

Rob Ford: "How many of these are we dealing with at $31,000 a crack?"

I've got 10 bucks on Fruit Of The Loom issuing a statement regarding his underwear.

Where can we read the original, unredacted parts of the ITO? I haven't been able to find a copy/PDF anywhere.

Sun News Network is quite separated from The Toronto Sun, much as Fox News doesn't reflect on the news on individual Fox stations or Fox network programming.

The next move will be Blair's, he needs to explain why they over looked the drunk driving. Rob should be in handcuffs within 24 hours.

When the Sun News advertise themselves as "Straight Talk" they just mean "No gay shit."

The Argos statement is around 5 or so tweets. Basically, we can't comment, but we're not happy he was wearing our jersey while saying horrible things.

I already Tweeted at both Dootlittle and Don Peat to find Blair and ask him what they plan to do about Rob Ford's drunk driving admission.

I was just having this conversation on Reddit. While yes, management is different, it's not an affiliate situation like with Fox. Sun News Network is the TV wing of Sun Media, the Toronto Sun is its flagship publication. For the Sun's editorial board to write such a strongly worded rebuke of the mayor and then for the company's television arm to pay them money is a looooong way from them having differing views on a specific issue.
