They had their sights on Ford before the election and since he won, they have had a non-stop agenda to get him out of office. <br /><br />Clearly they beleive that they have been wronged in some way and it is their job to get him out. <br /><br />They have this angry dog with a bone mentality with other things too. <br /><br />They tried to close down Marineland in Niagara Falls, only to have the authorities do an inspection and find nothing really wrong. They have taken credit for Ornge but I think that would have imploded on it's own anyways. <br /><br />For some reason The Star acts as an advocate for the common man rather than a news reporting outlet. Sure, newspapers have had the editorial bias, but their main role is to inform. As the public shifts their information sources to real-time outlets like the internet and TV, newspapers need to attract readers and the Ford stories start to read like soap operas. <br /><br />I get The Star every day but knowing the left-wing slant of their coverage, I tend to not read the first section too closely.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-59277567904802943042013-05-20T18:26:54.736-05:002013-05-20T18:26:54.736-05:00 Thank you, 9:13 AM.
