Media Bias, Part Two

Too many articles begin with the premise that yesterday's verdict was not the right one. At least that's the impression that's instilled into the minds of many readers, I'd imagine. The verdict is portrayed as shocking, surprising and nothing that anyone expected. However, not all articles clinged to the disproven aspects of the crown's case:

Where's the Justice? This is Justice

Canada needs truth in the Air-India case

Spiteful liar as star witness caused case to collapse

I'm unable to find my way around the last article's subscription... even though it's probably the best.

There's obviously a need to cover the sorrow, anger and disappointment of the victim's families... however, Justice Josephson's clear and straightforward ruling should be used as some sort of context in which to place the cries of unfairness and injustice.

Update: The first two stories don't work either. In order to get around them, type the article's author or title into Google News search and the article will come up without the subscription wall.
