Now it’s time to look closely at the roles played by the journalists who brought this interesting case to public attention: the Toronto Star’s Kevin Donovan and his “independent” source Jesse Brown.

Jesse Brown, “notorious practical joker at McGill” , in particular, has no serious journalistic background.

I think it would be totally justified for Mr. Ghomeshi to seek to recover serious financial damages from the 2 journalists (and any direct employers) named above in civil court. It would be interesting to understand the relevant detailed interactions between the investigative journalists and Mr. Ghomeshi’s formal accusers. In particular, I would like to know Mr. Brown’s true motivations for getting involved in this matter.
