So I am not a lawyer. But it can’t possibly be the case, that you are not allowed to publicly say something trivially provably true, unless you have a court’s word that it is true. That would effectively mean that there is zero free speech.
I don’t know if it’s that they’re not allowed by law or it’s media policy, but this is what they do. The guy who committed mass murder at a movie theater in 2012, for example, was referred to as an accused killer. Also, nowhere did I say they weren’t legally allowed to call these people murderers, I said that they don’t. I was responding to a comment about how the media words these things as if they aren’t obviously true.
