We talked about this situation before.
As far as I can see, the only way that you could eliminate reports appearing with snippets of unconfirmed information is if it was made illegal and that would be a very slippery slope as far as censorship goes.
I think that since the Leveson Inquiry, the press has to be more careful in what they print.
I would say that they are still insinuating things but are trying to be more discrete in the way they do this.
Donjeta is right though, if some Officer or somebody invovled in the case, states in a conversation that "it looks like smothering was the CoD", then are the press not within their rights to publish something like that, as present law permits?
