that viking bitch from the CBC was trespassing on his property, she was completely out of line and the star shouldn't be spueing irrelevant insults just because they don't like his common sense.

[BoredomCorner]

@Mr7survival WHAT common sense? Burning a surplus and turning into a deficit? Slashing social services in the largest city in Canada? Trying to turn prime waterfront land, into an elitist casino (at fire sale prices, I might add)?

Oh and if you want to talk about irrelevant insults, how about Ford comparing moderate-to-left councillors to Stalin, for no reason at all?

Oh, and how is it irrelevant to talk about Ford's lack of accomplishments?

I read the Toronto Star from time to time on the web, I would never buy one of their papers.

Over the past several months, the Star has persistently, unrelentlessly slammed, insulted, vilified Rob Ford even on the most trivial and personal matters.

This makes the Toronto Star look like a cheap, tabloid rag. It's like a personal, insatiable grudge against Rob Ford. This is NOT award winning journalism.

Toronto Star --- time to grow up.

@cheeriosinabowl Pointing out that Ford has broken several promises and is shafting Toronto -- and acting like a colossal jerk along the way -- is NOT being a cheap tabloid rag. It's reporting the facts. Explain to me how The Star is not doing that.

@BoredomCorner

It seems that bashing Rob Ford has become a favourite past time for so many bullies, um I mean people.  The Star included.

The Toronto Star loves to delve into Ford's private life and dig out all the dirt. They do this all the time now, and that lowers the Star to a rag-status, at least to me. Ford's private life is none of our business.

Lastly, all politicians are jerks and they all break promises, all of them. Hardly newsworthy, isn't it?

[BoredomCorner]

@cheeriosinabowl I'm sorry, but our leaders themselves claim to be on a higher moral plane than the rest of us. They need to prove it, by not lying to us, bullying us, vilifying us, stopping us from knowing what they're doing (which is our right, by the way), and not committing crimes.

I was raised to have standards to the people running my life -- why weren't you?

[BoredomCorner]

@3baxcb Of COURSE!

[3baxcb]

Of course Rob Ford would feel threatened by a newspaper with awards for investigative journalism. He figures that if he would boycott/ban/outlaw The Toronto Star, he will never be suspected of anything...like that he isn't infallible. Bet the Toronto Sun is kissing his ass on this.

@BoredomCorner I see.

Personally I think the real you is much more likeable and easier to listen to.
