It clearly doesn't as two surveys showed those who claim they were able to identify individuals from the reporting of the case, said they were able to do so from reports from the BBC and other corporate media. None of those reporters are facing jail.
Again, what Jonathan Cook is pointing out is exactly the opposite of what you claim. The court order does not apply to everybody: "Murray's writings appear to have had very little impact on the identification of any of the accusers. Among named individual journalists, Dani Garavelli, who wrote about the trial for Scotland on Sunday and the London Review of Books, was cited 15 times more often by respondents than Murray as helping them to identify Salmond's accusers."

- k1m 5y agoCraig Murray is being jailed because he allegedly helped reveal the identities of individuals through his reporting. There's nothing indicating his reporting revealed any more information about those identities than reporters from the BBC and other outlets. In fact, surveys show those other reporters did far more to help people identify those individuals. But they're not being jailed. Craig Murray has been singled out. Nothing ethical about that.
