Toronto Star reporter serves Rob Ford with libel notice
http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/233535/toronto-star-reporter-serves-rob-ford-with-libel-notice“On Thursday I served Rob Ford with a libel notice, the first step in the process of pursuing a defamation lawsuit,” Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale wrote in an article Thursday, explaining why he’d chosen to take legal action against Toronto’s controversial mayor.
As my libel notice says, I’m asking Ford to immediately retract the false insinuation that I am a pedophile and all of his false statements about my conduct on May 2, 2012. I’m also asking Ford and Vision owner ZoomerMedia to apologize immediately “publicly, abjectly, unreservedly and completely.”
If Ford does not do so, we’ll see if he is willing to repeat his lies under penalty of perjury.

... Ford repeated the accusation Thursday morning on The Sports Junkies, a D.C.-based sports radio show that he’s joined, according to Huffington Post Canada.
... Conrad Black, a former Canadian newspaper publisher who spent time in U.S. prison for fraud, conducted the interview with Ford, and he told CBS Radio host Carol Off that fact-checking Ford wasn’t his job, according to a Thursday piece from Matthew Coutts for Yahoo News.
