The Media, Newspapers and TV, radio and insurance assesors use all means possible to " GET THE NEWS FIRST ", why do you think that they are allways on site as soon a a fire or flood or RTA occurs, they use all means to obtain information, and that means what you say whilst in the air will be heard by more people than you think.
The sad thing is these people think they have the right to broadcast this sort of information to the world, and don't care a jot for the feelings of friends or relatives of people who have been involved.
Totally down to lack of moral standards, and the ability to get between the snake and the earth!
