And complaining about media reports or trying to get information to journalists seems to be a complete waste of time. Individual journalists seem not to have public e-mail addresses and the feedback e-mail addresses simply generate "we're too busy to read e-mails" automatic replies.
All journos are scumbags like their bosses. They are activists in suits!

Now Ulrika Jonsson has claimed in her column in The Sun that Rolf Harris groped her. The same Ulrika Jonsson who declined to deny that John Leslie was the unnamed man who she said in her autobiography had raped her, thereby sending his life on a downward spiral, with other women making allegations, for which charges were dropped or he was acquitted.
In 2002, Leslie was mistakenly named by the TV presenter Matthew Wright as Ulrika Jonsson's rapist that she wrote about anonymously in her 2002 autobiography.
Wright subsequently said he could not remember saying Leslie's name during the show.
In a Sky One show, Wright offered John Leslie an apology. Leslie confirmed he would not sue Wright, saying: 'I think he just made a really big mistake and unfortunately I was the one paying the price.'
Jonsson made no public comment on Leslie's naming and did not cooperate with police over the matter. Police investigated Leslie but never charged him with the alleged offence.

The media does seem to have some unpleasant people. Like Amanda Platell, who wrote an article about being Rolf Harris's friend when he was arrested, then wrote an article about being groomed by him when he was convicted.
Camilla Long is another one, always bitching about someone in her Sunday Times column. She put out an article about DLT when he was facing allegations saying that when she met him to interview him she didn't think there was a part of her body he didn't touch (clearly exaggeration, or she'd have gone to police to report assault) and that she had been giggling with fear while interviewing him (completely absurd). She had gone to his trial and he had protested about her being in the courtroom. She's interviewed in this BBC report, looking over her glasses to try to look serious.
