text: Your comment might make sense if all the Western media did was report on actual trials. But they report on a wide range of issues and don't reprint mere allegations as facts.
  
  "Liberals Fuel Opiod Addictions [says political opponent."]
  
  "Kingston man abducted by aliens [claims wife."]
  
  "Global warming is a hoax: [report by oil firms."]
  
  That's how it's supposed to be done. The reporter can include anything he wishes that supports or refutes the allegation. So there's plenty of honest ways to bring to light a potential problem. But you don't report an unproven allegation as a fact. That's tabloid 'journalism.'
