Rather than have just one "good story", it seems the papers plug for two "good stories". They wallow in a conviction and live in hope that it turns out to be wrongful so that they can have a second wallow and make even more money.
Truth is nothing compared to money in their eyes. A man being released after a lengthy sentence is a much better story for them than him not being convicted at all. |

Two threads on the same topic - when will editors wake up to the fact that there is a GOOD STORY hidden away in all these daily miscarriages of justice? |

But yet again, strangely, the best and highest profile coverage is in the Times - the whole of p3. |

It's another glaring example of the dumbing down of the media.
Up to 20 years ago every newspaper had great investigative reporters they could put on a case-or who would approach their editor with tips and were given permission to pursue the matter until they got results.
That's all out the window now with so much info coming in from a handful of agencies, PRs etc.
They still have the resourses though to put teams on chasing up whether Beck's hemline has changed or if Jade is in or out of hospital (where the hell is she ?) and other such minding numbing tosh.
Haute de le Guerre says it all really..one of the greatest con jobs perpetuated upon the British public ( which swept the world) with an unholy alliance between seemingly bonkers police (God only knows what they thought they would achieve ?)and reporters...all only 12 months ago. |

We'll hear about it when it happens next week - then silence like Sally Clark and Stefan Kiszko and the rest.
Society simply cannot face the reality about the police and judicial system.
Like Nazis in Germany, better to look away. |
