Murray lambasted for “bigot” tweet.

So Ford is flip flopping on streetcars now, and he hasn’t even been elected a full day. I’m sure The Sun will call him on this, since they would if he was a Liberal. After all, The Sun is fair and balanced, and will get hard on politicians who don’t keep regardless of stripe, right?
Sue Ann Levy, it’s your move…
Yeah, like the Star has been fair and balanced throughout the mayoral campaign. So does this mean that Christopher Hume will be moving out of Toronto now?
The Star was fairly fair. I thought they were generous with Ford in their various “smell tests.”
