I tell you what to think.
In an article in the Sun newspaper titled "Dead lad theft grief", it became apparent to me that it is okay for the journalists in the UK to call people names. Instead of simply calling the person by their given name, they take it as far as to call him thug Jake Farhi. I understand that this "thug" murdered another person but I feel that calling him names in the paper is a bit too much. It automatically paints a picture to the reader and doesn't give them much of an opportunity to come to their own conclusions about the kid. And what about the family and friends of Jake? I'm sure that they don't appreciate seeing that sort of stuff in print going out for thousands to read.
