How Come The Post Didn't Cover This Story?

The Murdoch Post never misses an opportunity to cover a "Perv Teacher" story when some teacher - one of 80,000 teachers, btw - is arrested on a sex charge.

They usually put these stories on the front page with a big headline like PERV TEACHERS across it, smearing all NYC public school teachers with the horrific doings of one.

Yet somehow, when one of Murdoch's own reporters at FOX 5 is arrested for child molestation, and when it becomes clear that even a preliminary investigation of his background indicates he had molested others in the past, and when child porn is found on his computer, somehow that story doesn't make it into the Post.

It does, however, make it into the Daily News:

A Fox 5 reporter already accused of molesting a 4-year-old New Jersey girl has been hit with an additional kiddie porn charge.

Charles Leaf's computer, which was seized when the Emmy-award winning newsman was arrested last month, was infected with perverted pictures, The Record newspaper reported Wednesday.

Leaf pleaded not guilty to the porn charge at a court hearing Tuesday after his lawyer tried unsuccessfully to get his $270,000 bail lowered.

The judge refused because Leaf has three drivers' licenses in three different states.

A father of two, Leaf molested the little girl inside his Wyckoff, N.J., home, prosecutors charged.

After Leaf was busted, his older sister came forward with claims that the newsman had molested two female relatives when he was younger.

Leaf, who later served in the Marines, was never prosecuted for allegedly fondling the girls. He and his wife, Monika, are the parents of a 7-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter.


How come the Murdoch Post doesn't have a headline across the cover screaming PERV FOX JOURNALISTS covering this story?

After all, if Charles Leaf were a teacher at a middle school in Brooklyn instead of a reporter at FOX 5, you can be sure it would be on the front cover and perhaps even the editorial page.
