The Star& #39;s public editor explains that WE Charity board member David Stillman is from "another branch" of the Stillman family and has nothing to do with the Stillman Foundation that funded reports for WE Charity. No need to disclose this total coincidence! https://www.thestar.com/opinion/public_editor/2020/11/06/failure-to-disclose-backer-of-we-charity-reports-left-readers-in-the-dark.html">https://www.thestar.com/opinion/p...
@yowflier further informs us that this assertion of fact:
"Forensic review exonerates WE Charity and government"
is simply "another view" in the diverse garden of opinions.
No matter that the Star did not verify the review or even know who paid for it when they ran it.

In fact, I doubt The Star even read the review, because if they did they would know it in fact does not "exonerate" WE Charity.
Even within its limited scope that seems designed to define exoneration within achievable goal posts, it does not exonerate WE.

p.6: "In providing our “Opinion”, we acknowledge that we generally did not encounter worthy substance that could support many of the critics’ allegations”
you GENERALLY did not find substance for MANY allegations?
So you *specifically* found substance for *some* allegations.

Which allegations were substantiated?
The review does not say. So I guess that equals:
WE CHARITY EXONERATED!
Bravo, @yowflier @IreneGentle

True transparency @yowflier would be to tell us exactly how they planted that thing in your pages to begin with.
Navigator PR& #39;s @jaimewatt is your columnist, for some reason.
Did WE Charity hire Navigator for crisis PR?

The ugliest part of this is The Star& #39;s own @MarcoOved did actual reporting on WE Charity, putting verified facts into the newspaper. Then his own superiors run a piece undercutting him completely with falsehoods disguised as news and justified as "opinion" https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2020/09/11/we-charity-says-it-will-liquidate-some-assets-what-about-all-that-real-estate-not-owned-by-we.html">https://www.thestar.com/news/cana...
