The straight news media cannot report just anything. Opinion pieces can. My point is the media is not rushing to judgement and people are criticizing them for it.
The media is not perfect and anyone who cannot read between the lines and use good judgement with news, most likely lacks the critical skill set needed to be an informed citizen capable of making intelligent assumptions and judgements. Democracy is messy. It's a circus.

That's why i didn't use the word 'news', just media. Many people appear to struggle to differentiate between 'news' and 'comment' or 'opinion'. The media is - currently - opining about this case without balance.
What fascinates me is how happy people seem to be with trial by media... that concerns me. Have we, as a nation, become that stupid that we think it's ok for the media to decide who's guilty?
