Toronto media: You’ve been punked.
Lured – ahem, “invited” – to the Ford matriarch’s Etobicoke estate in anticipation of big news only to be sold a book promo.
The presentation should have come with a zipper alert: “This is an advertisement.” Not to be mistaken for news.
I wouldn’t call it a LIE, how Doug Ford reeled in reporters under false pretenses Tuesday morning. He never said boo about declaring a run for mayor or the legislature or the federal Tory party leadership – all of which had been speculated as soon as the advisory dropped. Enticed only with “a very exciting and special announcement.”
LIES and LIED – terms Ford used 23 times during his stand-up, with one LYIN’ thrown in there.
Media abuse of his bro’, former mayor of Toronto Rob Ford, and their family, big sib Doug squawked. So now he, with whatever input was provided by the late Ford before his death in March, is going to set the record straight in Ford Nation: Two Brothers, One Vision – The True Story of the People’s Mayor. He called it the untold story. I’m calling it revenge porn.
There’s a Chinese proverb: He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves – one for his enemy and one for himself.
Hear Doug Ford tell it, this account might well be titled The Avengers. “You read this book, it will rock the political world, it will rock the media world, I can assure you.”
