Not true. The media have to use those terms to stay on the right side of cell bars nowadays.

Is too true.

The reason they would be behind cell bars is because its illegal to defame people / organisations by telling lies about them in the press.

Hi Darkstar,

Yes - and that is exactly the point I am making.

When something cannot be stated as a fact - either because its not true, or because its uncertain - qualifying words such as "allegedly" have to be used.

So, when people see the media using qualifying words like "allegedly" in news reports, they should be able to recognise that the news report is not reporting established facts.

You made the point so much more succinctly than I, thank you.

Cheers
GS
