The Toronto Street News is edited and published by Victor Fletcher, who describes himself as a "one-man charity" and a “hands-on reporter." Originally trained as a watchmaker, he was later hired by defense contractors such as Litton Systems and Canadian Arsenals. It was during his employment that "he realized that the world is controlled by a cabal of Masons and Zionists." Fletcher states that "I don’t like people being ripped off, especially at the bottom end of society.”
In an interview with the National Post in 2008, Fletcher stated that “For a homeless paper, I can get away with it, and have done that for ten years... “I have the rare luxury of sounding off any way I want. I’m just amazed that people go out there and buy it. If they didn’t want to buy the paper, they can give the homeless guy two bucks. But they don’t, they want the paper, so there is an audience out there. It’s amazing to me." Fletcher explained that his audience consists of "upscale communities and a lot of women."
One of the newspaper's writers and distributors is Angel Femia-Richmond, supports Fletcher and defends the paper, stating "Some of the articles are very controversial, but it’s the truth...He pushes whatever he can push, whatever people aren’t paying attention to. He gets real upset sometimes."
Fletcher, who is strongly anti-Zionist, stated that "I can’t walk down the street without the Masonic thing all over me, you know? They control 680 News.”

Famous quotes containing the words owner and/or content:
“In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
