  1. Ford is delusional if he thinks the Star lacks integrity, yet the Sun does not. Hell, the Sun resorted to childish name calling during Miller’s term, why did he not call them on being unprofessional on that when he was his boss?!

    If he wants to see real partisan attacks from the left, he should read Now. The Star provides a generally centred view with constructive criticism, which is apparently too much for Ford’s fragile ego.

  2. I don’t like Ford and he probably delusional… but not because he thinks the Star lacks integrity. Many people think the Star lacks integrity. How else to explain the constant harangue that Ford lied about “not cutting services” when McGuinty is generally given a free ride for any and all diversions from the truth that come out of his mouth. If the Star had integrity when writing about Toronto, they would consistently showcase how many of the City’s problems stem from Queen’s Park (Harris’ downloading followed by McGuinty’s failure to reverse, lack of strong regional planning). But they don’t.
