Oh God, this is needlessly complicated.

Police Now Decide What’s Newsworthy
How the National Post Censored Canada’s most Famous Writer
CANADALAND first reached out to Terfry with questions this past April. We received no response. We asked again last week, seeking comment through his editor, his management, and Terfry directly. We received no response, so we sent a reporter to his book-signing at a Toronto library. She was also denied comment.
Yesterday, Rich Terfry responded to CANADALAND:
Has Rich Terfry ever been jailed by police because a woman accused him of assault?
When I was 17, each day I walked past a bright pink Xtra news box on the street corner across from my school. Everywhere I went I seemed to see the boxes—they were peppered all over the city, even north of the downtown core, in the more conservative part of Toronto I come from.
Last April, Rich Terfry was apologizing for his fabrications. Now he’s selling them.
The musician/CBC host’s book, Wicked and Weird, was originally subtitled “The True Tale of Buck 65.” It was released Tuesday as “The Amazing Tales of Buck 65.”
Releasing a book about himself that’s full of fabrications is an odd move for a guy who is supposedly through with “creating a false image of [him]self” and lying to the world.
Yesterday, it was announced that Jonathan Goldstein’s Wiretap was ending after an 11-year run on CBC Radio.
