Is this the same media involved in phone tapping here? Lets not trust media taking the moral high ground. The thing to watch with media is what they dont print mostly to cause a public argument which sells newspapers.
Wasnt it last year prominent morning breakfast show hosts dragged into court for criminal actions?
A judge must make a decision on a suppression order. Criminals cant file for suppression of their name in a newspaper. There must be good reason although not always the real intention of the suppression.
I have enough faith Joobylin will work slowly and metciously through this to get the best outcome for all of us, not just the media.
Looking forward to more developments as it goes a little quiet. Could mean it ends with a big bang.

Ya. I don't trust the media. I don't trust them less because one person says on a radio forum they're printing lies about WT. I still trust them the same which is not at all, tbh.
They misinform all the time, both deliberately and out of simple negligence in the rush to get a story out first. (This is where I think the misspelling of Tyrrell came from btw - simple negligence)
A good test to see how bad the media is? Just watch or read a story about something you personally know a lot about. Your profession, for example, or a hobby that you have been involved in for a long time. Even if they
don't deliberately try and misinform, they will get details wrong, or put a weird slant on things, or they will miss out important details. It makes you realise that nothing coming from the media is truly, 100% trustworthy - even when they are reporting without any attempt at deceit, they can't possibly EVER tell the full story.
I can think of an example. A friend of mine wrote an article for a magazine - one circulated nationally - about something she is very qualified on (has a relevant degree and experience). The article they printed, they had cut a lot out of what she'd written and swapped a lot of stuff around. She wasn't too upset about it, it didn't become full-on wrong and she knew there would be some editing, but she said that it did change the article enough that it didn't really say what she'd wanted it to say. From my own personal interest in science and science communication, I know just about every academic article or scientific study that gets reported on in the media gets twisted around, turned into bite-size chunks for a tasty headline that really misses the mark most of the time and doesn't really reflect the truth about the scientific endeavour.
Anyway, it's getting off-topic. It's not really about WT per se, but basically I don't trust the media. I
don't trust what we read in the MSM to be the actual truth. It may be a
version of the truth that may or may not be any more true than what we read on social media. The only difference is you have to an extent trust that they wouldn't print anything they don't want to get sued for, something random Facebook posters probably don't worry too much about (though, they probably should, to be honest). But I think things have to get pretty extreme for that to happen.
I trust the cops. I trust Jubelin and every other cop on this case. Other countries might have dodgy cops, but I know NSW Police and I know they are 100% legit. The real deal. They'll get to the bottom of this case no matter what.
