Should the Toronto Star ” Buy ” the video from drug dealers?
As far as I know, there are only about 3 people apart from the drug dealers who claim to have the incriminating cell phone video of the Mayor that has triggered the political firestorm or some might say crises at City Hall. One of them is Toronto Star Investigative reporter Kevin Donovan who essentially broke the story along with his colleague Robyn Doolittle who has also seen the video. The other person who has seen it is the editor of website Gawker.
I spoke with Kevin this morning on 680 news about how far the Star is willing to go in pursuit of a response from the Mayor or in getting a hold of the video itself. He left the impression that the Star is considering a purchase of the video from the drug dealers who showed it to him.
Here is his latest thinking as of Thursday 2pm 2013
