Typically it would be the Telegraph that would take a story from another newspaper and run the questonable reporting of that story as news. In this instance the SMH is bashing the crap out the Telegraph over their reporting of the NSW Young Australian of the Year, a Muslim woman, who was arrested on drugs charges.
The linked article below refers to a blog and references may posts from that blog. The article’s author is reporting/arguing that the Daily Telegraph was full of praise for this yong woman until charges against her were made public during the week. However, it fails to mention that in the same week the SMH’s monthly (sydney) magazine also featured a story about this young woman.
It appears that balanced, honest reporting at Fairfax has become optional in it’s long runing war with the the Telegraph. Of course it’s easy to see why; the Telegraph broke the story on Wednesday – the same day the very expensive (in both production and ad rates) (sydney) magazine hit the newsstands.
