Star reporter denies peering into Rob Ford's yard

Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale said Thursday he did not stand on cinder blocks and peer over Mayor Rob Ford’s back fence in an attempt to take photographs of his house.

Speaking Thursday afternoon for the first time since a bizarre confrontation with the mayor near Ford’s house on Wednesday, Dale said he was on public land to research a story.

Ford has said Dale stood on a pair of cinder blocks located beyond his back fence while snapping photos of his house. Dale denied this Thursday.

“I never saw cinder blocks on this public parcel of land,” Dale said. “I do not have the agility to balance on such cinder blocks. I certainly did not try,” he said. "I never peered over the fence. I never made an attempt to look over the fence."

Rob Ford is the biggest, whiney weenie I've ever seen on TV. JFC, you don't want to be scrutinized, don't go in politics. Genius.

I saw him try to explain it on tv (Ford that is) and he is SO making shit up. Like the reporter dropped all his gear and ran just because Ford asked nicely what he was doing there.
