If 'they' care about victims then why did they stay silent when a suspect fled or another went on the run? Isn't that putting more people in danger? Why do they go along with restrictions which appear to be about covering up disastrous policies? Do they not care about the public? Oh, but it is the law! Why were others not punished in the same way for similar things? It is political. The same judge was not so harsh against the woman with dozens of contempt of court rulings. Make of that what you will.
Real journalism challenges power and law and none of them are capable of doing that. Real journalism offers balance. The fact that they are going all in like they are is very revealing. Not so much about the alternative media or Robinson supporters, but their hypocritical selves. They full well know it and they hate what is reflected at them. They know people do not trust them, and so they double down Orwell style.
Take them constantly parroting about 'potentially collapsing a trial' like old Lucy here was too. Utter nonsense and they know it. Thus entirely new charges. Robinson has played them for fools, did a number on the BBC, and they cannot get their heads around it, thus all they have is force.
People should make up their own minds. Watch channel 4 with their scripted soundbites and then watch the Akkad interview. Decide for yourself. Indeed read the link Lucy gave too. Listen to everything. Make up your own mind.
