The American's think Rob Ford is a joke and therefore gain amusement out of what he has to say. The only reason they care about him is to make fun of him which in some cases could help their shows get higher ratings.
2) How has Rob Ford controlled his message through the American Media?
He has taken the American media's attention as a positive thing, while in truth he is being made fun of. Any attention he gets from all types of media he tries to turn it into a positive thing, because he sees attention as a good thing. He tries to control his image and the way people see him in America, when in reality he is making a bigger fool of himself.
3) Is the American media well informed on the issues that surround Rob Ford. Explain.
The Americans are not well informed of the issues surrounding Rob Ford. They don't know his history and therefore are only informed about current issues surrounding him. If they were well informed, they would have probably payed more attention to him when he came into office.
4) What do you think are Rob Fords prospects for a future in Politics? Explain.
I think if Rob Ford doesn't get voted back into office as mayor of Toronto he will try and gain a higher position in the government of Canada. Since the cities budget came out a week after Rob Ford was stripped from all his power he is starting to look very promising as the budget shows an increase of $64 a year in property taxes and more. Therefore I think a lot of people will be inclined to re-vote him into office.
This is a skit from SNL (Saturday Night Live) of Rob Ford:
