We all seen the press in action, they target the same person, they suggest something in one newspaper which is quoted in another paper which becomes 'fact' which is then is tweeted and gossiped about by people, and then reported on again selling more newspapers...... one big snowball effect caused by the press to sell news.
Look at how Sterling is portrayed, it's a million miles away from what he actually is. Yet there are people out there, lots, who think he is a gangster loving bling guy with many many kids.
The most anyone can say is we dont know, can even suspect them, but vilifying them is exactly what our gutterpress want.
