Are the other Sun papers as bad? At least they don't drool over the Ford family...

A local publication is always going to be more "rabid", or at least it should, about local stuff but don't forget that the FF Nation goes beyond the GTA so the other Suns copy most if not all of the articles. The Ford family is just a symptom of the political disillusionment of those who are "disenfranchised".Are the other Sun papers as bad? At least they don't drool over the Ford family...

I only notice the Sun if I see it left behind in the subway or someone posts it here. But there are far too many people who rely on the Sun for their news.
Fixed it for you.
Agreed. Teaching children to deal with stress with "presents" and such can lead to a rocky and addictive road.
You got to wonder what's so big deal/special about getting a pet as a way of dealing with grief to warrant front page coverage.

Yes, the likelihood of being spoilt is still there.Just consider Dougie's ethically dubious front-yard "press interview", and how he basically said that RoFo was a great dad, he got the kids lots of toys, etc.
and c) turn that article into something that supports her view/position, definitively even when it does not.

Well, as I've previously stated, it's all about Renata in the end.
I'm thinking it might have more to do with Warmington. He brands himself as the reporter who rubs shoulders with the movers and shakers and gets the inside story. (The man does love a cliche.) He needs the Ford family to maintain appearances, even if they are becoming yesterday's news. I'm sure he calls the Fords more than they call him.
The Sun chain started from the ashes of the old Toronto Telegram. Peter Worthington and the others who resurrected the old Telly basically saw an opportunity in bringing the U.K. tabloid format to Toronto. The formula was simple: Sensationalize scandal with an emphasis on local stories, be strong on sports and sprinkle a little T&A here and there, all while maintaining a pretty strong Conservative outrage quotient. Easy to read on public transit.
The difference being that Rasputin was a holy fool and Warmington is merely a fool for the Fords.
Didn't Stephanie also say "great dad" (=) "lots of toys" in her Mayor of Heaven eulogy? One has to wonder about all these toys. Do they just get bored/frustrated with them and move on or were the kiddies just spoiled silly regardless? Poor Brownie - he's not a toy you can just get bored of or frustrated with. He'll still need to be fed, walked, pooped, peed, trained. That's not fun. That's like...work!Just consider Dougie's ethically dubious front-yard "press interview", and how he basically said that RoFo was a great dad, he got the kids lots of toys, etc.
