Ford is actually going to have to issue an honest apology or he will find himself in front of a court possibly perjuring himself.
Ford Apologizes To Toronto Star Reporter Daniel Dale, But Journalist Says It's Not Enough
It's no revelation that Ford, and many of those behind him, have a sense of unlimited entitlement and feel accountable to no one...but we still have laws in this country. It doesn't matter who his dad, his brother, his "Uncle" Jim or his fishing buddy is, what matters is, were Rob Ford's comments malicious and did they cause Daniel Dale harm.
After making the comment on the Black show, he latter stated he stood by them and then repeated the claims once again on air. His "apology" like so much he does is a transparent attempt to shift blame onto the media. When he made the comments it was clear what he was inferring and who was the target. He knew that his own surveillance video didn't back his claims up and that the police had already cleared Dale of the accusations but Ford attacked Mr.Dale anyway.
Rob Ford's sense of entitlement seems to create a belief in his mind that there are no limits to his actions, even when they harm others. Glib and insincere apologies for political purposes are meaningless when someone has transgressed this profoundly.
Ford Apologizes To Toronto Star Reporter Daniel Dale, But Journalist Says It's Not Enough
Rob Ford has apologized to Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale and claimed he did not mean to suggest the journalist was a pedophile during a televised interview with Conrad Black.
But Dale said Tuesday afternoon that the apology did not go far enough.
The reporter served Ford with a libel notice last week, demanding the mayor apologize and retract what he called a "false insinuation."
