Reporting is the job of great responsibility. People have a right to correct information. The only aspect where news can be suggestive to criminals is the motivation to stay away from crime.

Yes, it is incomplete news. Bad reporting. Might create panic. Also suggestive to terrorists if they are still not up to it.

Sometimes it seems aggressive Reporters can put their own spin on an issue, just to make themselves the center of a major topic! They come up with the most outrageous far-out questions on a media issue just for the "shock" effect in the media arena! On occasions, that "spin" takes off and other media attention seeking hounds start chasing it. Good factual media reporting suffers. :-5

Yes, you are right. It is yet another aspect of negative reporting which is becoming a daily routine for many reporters. In India a large percentage of media reporting comes under this category.
