James Hirsen seems determined to keep the omerta for his friend Mel Gibson.
We noted that Hirsen failed to mention the story of Gibson's hateful phone conversations with the mother of his out-of-wedlock child in the week after it first broke. Hirsen is keeping up the silent treatment: The most recent edition of his "Left Coast Report" also fails to make any mention of Gibson, even as more tapes were released.
As we've detailed, Hirsen has a close relationship with Gibson -- a relationship Hirsen did not disclose as he was promoting Gibson's films and serving as defender of Gibson at Newsmax by claiming he had apologized sufficiently for his 2006 anti-Semitic tirade.
