That comment was tantamount to incitement in my opinion. 
Can anyone explain to me please... How is the public interest served by hounding this woman?
The press should be bound by court order to leave her alone.( oh and before there any cries of " freedom of the press " please answer my question above  ) |
It's a chicken and egg situation....whilst not specifically in the public interest it may be representative of a public opinion.
I agree about a court order - I don't think the law will allow for this, although it could exclude the papers giving any indications as to where she is.
I'm not saying that the paper is right in what it's doing, but they are no specifically saying that their readers should do anything about it.
Personally I would prefer to have the facts reported. She's being released, etc etc - I can make up my own mind as to whether I like her or not.
