I Hate The War on Mayor Rob Ford - January 20 at 11:33pm
From one of our best regular commenters, Kevin Brown. I can say that this is by no means a surprise; the only surprise is that Joe is brave enough to talk about it in public:
"Interesting discussion on "The Late Shift" with Joe Warmington. Joe revealed that he has been approached by two "very powerful" people with a request that he "lay off John Tory" (Joe is one of the few journalists who is openly critical of Tory). He also discussed how the 1010 morning team are continually trashing him. Christie Blatchford in particular has it in for him. She actually approached his boss - Wendy Metacalfe - to complain about his articles. Blatchford was a regular on Tory's radio program and is a good personal friend of Tory. Unfortunately because of his powerful connections John Tory can get just about any journalist in this city fired if they are too critical of him."
