The leftist media’s sick obsession with Cdl Pell

They just can’t leave Cardinal Pell alone, can they? With anyone else it would be stalking. Stalking is okay when the leftist media has Cardinal Pell as the victim. The Sydney Morning Herald reported Cardinal Pell had dinner with friends at a Circular Quay restaurant in Sydney. Why? Because it was the opportunity to sneer, ridicule and harass the Cardinal. What a bunch of gutless worms that run The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Well, they have to serve their bigoted constituency, don’t they?

Pell breaks (garlic) bread at Circular Quay Italian diner

Readers will recall Pell spent his first night of freedom upon his release in the Carmelite Monastery in Melbourne’s Kew, before being driven by a friend to the Seminary of the Good Shepherd in Homebush. He has spent the bulk of his time in Sydney since his release.

Pell, according to CBD spies, was seated at the middle of a long table, with about a dozen people, and knew some of the guests at smaller tables flanking the high table.

Those inside the restaurant overheard the dinner was held to mark his release from jail.

At one point, Pell – who was dressed in what one observer described as “priestly regalia” – stood to address his friends and gave a short speech and toast.

Apparently Pell was flanked by a number of priests. One guest wore a blazer bearing an Order of Australia gong on their lapel. Representatives for the Catholic Church and Pell did not return calls and emails on Thursday.

The other guests in the restaurant said they had to pinch themselves.

“It was like the last supper,” one onlooker said. “He was sitting in the middle of a long dinner table, and there was no one sitting opposite.”

Law, Media, Politics

Jailing journalists? I wish upon a star.

Adam Cooper of Melbourne’s Marxist rag, the Age, reported (26 March 2019) that Victoria’s Director of Public Prosecution has begun a process of holding a mob of journalists to account for breaking the law. The opening paragraphs of the report:

Dozens of Australia’s leading media editors and journalists, including staff at The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, could face prison for contempt of court over allegations they breached a suppression order in reports published after George Pell’s conviction on child sex abuse charges.

Victoria’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Kerri Judd, QC, has named 36 organisations and individuals in a motion before the Supreme Court and applied that they be found guilty, convicted and either imprisoned or fined.

I had to read those paragraphs a couple of times to ensure I understood correctly. Could it really be true that the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald – those factories of lies, bigotry, political propaganda, and fake news – would for once be held to account? Would the Director of Public Prosecutions really go through with it and give them the rocketing they have deserved for years? I have to see it to believe it.

What a joy it would be to see those Fairfax people take the same walk as Cardinal Pell. I would be tempted to go to the court entrance and yell, ‘You Fairfax scum! You filth of the earth! Liars and cheats! Rot in hell!

But it won’t really happen, will it? The guilty-as-sin media will wriggled out it in some way.
