I feel like this is an exact distillation of what I was referring to when I said there is a preference to help those with legal issues accused of things.

There aren't "hordes" of people who have had their life ruined just because there were AP articles written about minor felonies they were accused of.

I think its fine to either be strict on both or forgiving on both, but something about the internal inconsistency really annoys me.
