End of Straya meeja madness sale

After being left abandoned by the gutless, suckhole government to be tortured for over two years in an illegal Cuban dog box and returned to the country without having had one "terrorism" charge laid by the Seps, only to be slandered by Dead Man, Ratty and their pal in Macquarie Street, we learn that, because the NSW Police told a reporter where Mamdouh Habib and his family were living, their home has been ransacked for a second time this week.

But who would do such a thing? Surely not reporters? Would an editor green-light such an act? If they had the ethical standards of this bloke they might:

"Geoff Howe, editor of The Inner Western Suburbs Courier, admitted yesterday he [twice] lied to ICAC investigators. [The former mayor of Burwood] chose not to run a story about a secretly taped video of Strathfield mayor Alfred Tsang accepting a bribe despite seeing the recording.

"Mr Howe said he lied to the commission while under oath because he wanted to protect [Strathfield ALP councillor John] Abi-Saab as a source and protect his own reputation."

Tsang's lawyer: "Mr Howe, it's hard to imagine a more dramatic story isn't it? ... A mayor is apparently accepting a bribe and you've got the evidence on tape."

Howe: I had "other stories to write.... I simply can't drop everything".

Howe's news judgment is, of course, right at home among the rest of the (mostly Pommie - or at least pathologically Anglophile) editors in this once proud nation. Every major news outlet today is splashing big - with the usual pathetic servility - on the "news" that Ponce Charles and Lady Blah-Blah Balls are to be wed. These two have a lot of style and class, in case you didn't know.
