Doha chap, sounds like you're on the side of the rapist.

You seem to be confusing blatent fabrication with bias. Those networks you mention are indeed biased: they cherry pick what they report and how they do it. But, they do not create this news out of thin air. Neither does the National, and in stories like this that are critical of the judiciary? i doubt they're letting bias slip in-- quite the opposite.

Now, can we stop debating the merits of journalism and get back tot he ridiculousness of allowing a rapist to go free because he claimed his wife was prettier than the maid?
