His papers including the likes of the Sun and his News Channel Sky news can still control what news is published. Politicians will be terified of him printing all of the stuff they have saved for such a day.

Yep pooing themselves, you can see that by the way Ed Miliband's been laying into them either that or Ed's grown a backbone, he's not the only one either.

This particular case highlights the media's recent trend towards pushing the boundaries of acceptable commentary and reporting while an unsolved case is under investigation. Had this individual eventually been sent to trial, he might have argued his right to a fair trial had been compromised by some of what was said about him.

Justice is more important than selling papers, and I am reluctantly coming round to the view that media regulation backed up by criminal law is the only way we can now ensure this.
