"It's a better story - screw justice" and various other versions of the same.

A good story is the over ruling priority these days.

Has been for ages.

At my trial, the judge told the jury not to read the papers but didn't mention the Internet. I'm sure they all went home, googled me, read about other (false) allegations and decided I must be guilty.

But who cares? It was a GREAT story!

And judges still think news is hand written and passed around the community on parchment.
