The Toronto Star’s “Anyone-but-Ford for Mayor” vendetta

by Natasha on Friday, September 24, 2010, 2:17 pm · 4 comments

From day one, the Red Star has had it in for Toronto’s next mayor, Rob Ford.

  1. Toronto Star Linked To “Edits” Of Rob Ford Wikipedia Page
  2. Sharp eyed Rob Ford supporter ES has caught someone from an IP address traced to the Toronto Star “editing” Rob Ford’s wikipedia page to include reference to a parody web site robfordmayor.com…

  3. Star columnist Heather Mallick pops a gasket: Rob Ford as mayor? Are we nuts?
  4. Mallick again on Ford: This time with her own creepy hate-f#ck fantasy (which did not go unnoticed)
  5. The Star’s political plan: Everyone should just quit and let Smitherman win.
  6. Anti-Ford Google ads from the Star? They deny it (BCF calls bullshit).
  7. More ads?
  8. The Toronto Star hits a new low in its attack on Rob Ford — Question: When is the “latest Toronto Star-Angus Reid poll” not really the latest poll? Click the link for your answer.
  9. Samples of Star bias in observational tweet this morning by Kevin Gaudet of the Canadian Taxpayer’s Foundation:
    TorStar today: 3 articles hating Ford, one hating Flaherty, one loving McGuinty, one loving Smitherman. Usual balance.

If I’ve left anything out — other than the daily anti-Ford columns — let me know. They don’t call it the Red Star for nothing.

You can help Rob Ford as he Fights Back Against Toronto Star’s Vendetta!

There usually isn’t much going on in TO that’s relevant to me, but I find their mayoralty race very interesting. Apparently the Toronto Star isn’t as reflective of the zoo as it appears from outside the cage. That’s good to know. I hope they get their city back.

I pray for the demise of the Red Star and it will be a joyous day when this happens. The damage they have done to this country is unfathomable.

Rob Ford says he will cancel all programs for poor tenants.

He is opposed to this by the two groups who represent tenants Acorn Toronto and the Federation of Metro Tenants Associations and by One Toronto that represents an overwhelming majority of citizens of Toronto.

Come to the One Toronto Stop Ford meeting
Monday, September 27
7:30 pm
Church of the Holy Trinity — 10 Trinity Square (behind the Eaton Centre)
