It appears that the former is allowed, but the latter isn't. Note that when the media report on a trial while it's in progress, they have to be careful to stick to merely stating what happened, without giving any opinions. | |

A key part of this story, not acknowledged by the BBC, is that the mainstream media are demonstrably free to engage in the same conduct that got Robinson imprisoned, with impunity. | |
