I certainly don't trust the press to do a better job of this than anyone else, and they definitely don't do a great job of encouraging deliberation and slowness to act - if anything the exact opposite. This is more of a practical observation of how things actually are and what the actual end result of this would look like. There hasn't been the same kind of push to stamp down on hasty, mob-like action backed by the press as there has been to restrict social media and direct unmediated communication, and I can't see any such push going anywhere given the amount of media pushback that would result. (Also, to be fair, I should probably have extended this to other powerful institutions and organisations with the ability to mediate what kinds of activism can and cannot happen, not just the press. Meant to but it didn't make it into my original comment.)
