Fortunately, or unfortunately, I think the media is now quite gun shy that the case is getting towards the pointy end.
Over the journey, we've had stories of the ilk of "Hird's getting sacked" and the likes being shoved onto radio, TV and the broadsheets, where basically journos trying to cover themselves in glory in getting the scoop. I feel now, that with all the litigation flying around, that the media bunker has been told to not pull the trigger unless it's been absolutely proven. My gut feel now is that all senior writers, presenters and cadets are quivering with anticipation of scripting the next chapter - but are spending their time 'getting their ducks in a row' before clicking on the send button to get things active.
Only the most senior and bravest journos are the ones that are still publishing articles on the subject - but in some forcefield/kryptonite type fashion, it seems that if you add somewhere inside the article that it's "my opinion" that all the legal ramifications *poof* into the air and no responsibility is ever recorded.
From my answer, you can see where I sit with the media right now.
