Headline fodder.

Anybody else feel uncomfortable about the way the captain of this cruise-liner which has capsized off the Italian coast is being tried and convicted in the media?  He may of course be guilty of all the things which are being said about him, but the proper forum for all this to be investigated is either some form of official inquiry, or possibly (probably even) in court.  The press on the other hand have their own agenda which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with truth or justice.
