1. But there was no such 'waiting for facts' when it came to DSK for Commissioner Kelly.

Less than hours after an accusation was made, he was perp walked, thrown in jail, and screaming Murdoch headlines declared him guilty, while Ray Kelly's spokesperson, Mr. Truth as he is known, Browne, lied to the press about the details of the events fueling the Tabloid Media Witchhunt. But then, Ray Kelly is an old friend of DSK's arch political rival, Sarkozy.

I am glad they have not prematurely thrown a man in jail based on only an accusation without even waiting for forensic evidicence as was done in the case of DSK. However, the hyprocisy that now the son of the same commissioner of the NYPDalso accused of rape , gets such contrasting treatment.

And in the end, there was no case then either. And Murdoch's rag, the NY Post appears to have treated these two rape allegations very differently also.
