More Media Bias
Tim Blair has a great post highlighting the Sydney Morning Heralds bias.
Police report on a robbery last night in Sydney:

The first man was described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, about 160cm tall with a skinny build. He was wearing a black coloured jumper and balaclava.

The second man was described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, about 170cm tall with a chubby build. He was wearing a black coloured balaclava and an orange and red coloured jacket.

SMH report on a robbery last night in Sydney:

The first man was described as about 160 centimetres tall, skinny and wearing a black jumper and a balaclava.

The second man was about 170 centimetres tall, chubby and wearing a orange and red coloured jacket and a balaclava.
Hmmm. What piece of information did they leave out? And just in case you think it is a one off occurance, Tim's readers supply more.
Police report on men sought over arson attacks in Revesby:

They are described as being of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, about 175-180cm tall and all aged in their early 20’s. Three of the men have a thin build while the fourth in described as being large.

SMH report (sourced from AAP) on men sought over arson attacks in Revesby:

The four men are described as about 175-180cm tall, and aged in their early 20s. Three of the men have a thin build, while the fourth is described as large.

Makes you wonder how the SMH would describe Osama bin Laden were he ever to be on the run in Sydney: “The man is described as tall, of thin build, with Robert Fisk attached to his arse.”
Yep. The Sydney Morning Herald...protecting terrorists and theives for decades.
