…yeah it’s kind of become a bit ‘boy who cried wolf’ in terms of media but I think that applies to social media as well and there possibly is some truth in there in some articles but it’s checking it all out and trying to find it…‘sensationalising’ a story and manipulating it is just so commonplace now to the point of becoming what we’ve come to expect and what often arrives…I guess a parallel could be used of there being power in the words that resulted in the conviction in the first place…?…there is power in the sensationalisation of a story../…not so much power in the truth …
