Your comment might make sense if all the Western media did was report on actual trials. But they report on a wide range of issues and don't reprint mere allegations as facts.

"Liberals Fuel Opiod Addictions [says political opponent."]

"Kingston man abducted by aliens [claims wife."]

"Global warming is a hoax: [report by oil firms."]

That's how it's supposed to be done. The reporter can include anything he wishes that supports or refutes the allegation. So there's plenty of honest ways to bring to light a potential problem. But you don't report an unproven allegation as a fact. That's tabloid 'journalism.'
