In context of the Hofstra false rape allegations and the Yale murder case, are media outlets too quick to name names of potential suspects?

Yes – it often seems like media outlets are so quick to name names that a suspect is "convicted" before even being charged. The Yale case is a good example.

It depends on the case and the allegations.

No. The Hofstra case is an extraordinary case, and it rarely happens that way.

Yes, the media is desperate for BS stories because they can't won't and don't report real news. They only get away with it because they probably can't be sued. These types of cases should be held close to the vest until they know for sure. It is likely that the county will feel the heat here.
