Two children and their father die in caravan explosion, media jumps to conclusion it is murder-suicide

So here's a really unfortunate case of a caravan explosion that killed two children and their father.

What's horrible, though, is before the dust has even settled on the tragedy the media is straight into implying the father might have done this on purpose.

It used to be that the media would wait for some sort of investigation to be completed before dragging an dead innocent man's name through the mud.

Man killed by wife, media writes her defense even though she's found guilty

Here's yet another case of the media coming to the defense of a woman who killed her husband and has made accusations against him he can't defend.

So, even though she's be sentenced to eleven years jail (minimum of seven years) for stabbing her husband of 11 years after an alleged argument, the media seeks to canonize her for her ordeal.

The reason being that the family of the dead man are seeking compensation for pain and suffering.

Good on the media for being completely fair and balanced when reporting stories involving convicted criminals.  I'm sure every story about a man who has killed a woman has a full page article giving the background explaining why the man did what he did.

Oh wait...

Man sentenced to two and half years, woman gets time served

If ever there was an example of the double standard of sentencing it's this: man sentenced to two and a half years jail and registry on the sex offender registry for having public sex with a women who gets time served and registry on the sex offender.

So, literally the same act has resulted in the man going to jail for over two years and the women gets a pass.
