Dan Gross: First Amendment Defender
The Daily News writes about the case against Larry Mendte today, and does address the paper’s own mentions in the court documents. (Fox 29, also, mentioned last night that Dawn Stensland is Mendte’s wife; it wasn’t really anything special, but it was kind of sad to hear Kerri-Lee Halkett be forced to say “fair and balanced.”) Mendte, incidentally, will plead guilty, according to his lawyer. The Daily News story has some great lines, such as: “And that was just as Lane, dubbed ‘anchorbabe’ and the ‘Latina bombshell,’ had suspected.” And here we go, straight out of a film noir movie:
Ha ha, Dan Gross is going to shut anyone down! He’s ready to go to jail to protect his known source, Larry Mendte! (Unless Mendte leaked to Regina Medina or Damon C. Williams.) The feds also found the famed Alycia Lane bikini pix on Mendte’s computer, but didn’t say if he was Page 6’s source. If he was, Larry: Shame on you. For the first time since this scandal started I am actually mad. One, he could have released them to the public. And two, he could have at least given them to a news source in Philadelphia instead of the New York Post. We can take lawbreakers, Larry; we don’t tolerate Benedict Arnolds.

I gotta agree with you. I don’t give much of a damn about this case, unless Mendte leaked anything outside of Philly first. That would be uber lame.
You have to be kidding. I’m no fan of Alycia Lane, but she got hosed by Larry Mendte and for a reporter to use information obtained illegally should be a crime. If Mendte was indeed Gross’s source, did he asked him how he came upon the information? What if Larry told him he had hacked into Lane’s computer? Where does one illegal act end and another begin?
Larry totally made her punch that cop and call her a dyke. Yep, all his fault.
john, you fail.
