Torontoist Scorns Toronto Sun For Use Of Gossip Blogger
Feb 12, 2010 | admin | 2
Online magazine Torontoist takes the Toronto Sun to task for publishing articles related to the Giambrone affair that relied heavily on dubious pictures (see above) and information provided by gossip blogger Zack Taylor:
“Over the past week, as the Adam Giambrone scandal came to a head and then popped, gossip blogger Zack Taylor has published two breathless—and obviously dubious—stories about the former mayoral candidate in an attempt to cash in. We’d call that attempt “futile,” but it hasn’t been: the Toronto Sun, an actual newspaper with people who have job titles like “reporter” and “editor,” has picked up both of Taylor’s stories, and republished the details in them, with apparently no research of their own of Taylor’s claims whatsoever.”

George Smitherman didn't resign this week. Sorry, we go with what people are talking about.
