Most experienced journalists understand how our legal system works. However, they've learned they get more clicks from indignant ranting. This is true irrespective of source or ideological slant. You'll see just as much outrage that betrays a misapprehension of how and why our legal system works the way it does in the Globe and Mail, the CBC, and the Huffington Post, as you will in the Sun or Rebel. It's just a question of which cases spark that outrage.
