The world-wide appeal of the drug-scented police probe of Mayor Ford and his friends is apparent in the front pages of many newspapers. The New York Post has splashed it across the newsstands of Manhattan. The Toronto Sun has published an afternoon edition which was handed out on the street and in corner stores. At the Toronto Star, their reporter Robyn Doolittle says, it’s a happy day. As one of the reporters who wrote the original “crack video” story she may feel a little more sensitive about this matter than most. She seemed very concerned about people who said they didn’t believe the story. The Toronto Star has nothing to fear from those skeptics and a more decent theme would seem to be the human tragedy of Rob Ford. He may not be Shakespearean in greatness, but his term in office is a serious sadness. And that is how it is seen by most politicians. Even the most partisan of players, like St. Paul’s Carolyn Bennett, said she hoped for the mayor’s rehabilitation.Media sensation in Toronto’s civic tragedy
