Garnel,

On 1, true. I'm not denying it, although I do somewhat understand their outrage when attacked.

2 is something I tackle in the post.

Bray,
The picture depicts this.

There are two reasons why Chareidi crime gets more negative and more prominent coverage:
1) The Chareidi leadership wastes no effort in trying to convince others of the superior moral nature of the Chareidi lifestyle. The "God loves us better because we're Charedi" message is transmitted loud and clear by many in important positions. Therefore, when a Chareidi stumbles, it makes the news.
2) The "circle the wagons" attitude is also intolerable to outsiders who have heard the message in (1) too many times. The idea that no matter how terrible a crime, attempts will be made to obstruct justice because "he's one of us" is more important than doing what is right aggravates many on the outside and leads to the negative coverage.
