Doug Ford's Fake News Factory Leaves All Ontarians Worse Off
Doug Ford is afraid to take genuine questions from qualified reporters who might challenge him on ill-conceived and poorly thought-out election promises.
Afraid to take genuine questions from qualified reporters who might challenge him on ill-conceived and poorly thought-out election promises, the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario is hiding behind the fake news reporting courtesy of his personal assistant.
In a series of news-style videos produced by the party's campaign team ahead of the June 7 provincial election, Ford is getting the kind of fawning coverage he always wanted.
The videos, posted on Facebook and a website, typically begin with Ford's personal assistant and former broadcast journalist, Lindsey Vanstone, seemingly barely able to contain herself with excitement as she announces her boss' latest campaign stop.
She regularly describes him as "soon-to-be premier Doug Ford" or just "Doug," as she heaps praise on his promises to help Northern Ontario residents or invest in mental health without ever challenging him onhow he would achieve such things.
