Are TV commentators held to a constitutional presumption of innocence? Hell no.

Can you imagine Sept. 11 reported that way? "Alleged terrorists may have, could have, might have, reportedly have purposefully attacked the world trade center!"
Actually not too far off! AP press stories would not refer to the terrorists as 'terrorists', but only 'hijackers' (althought interestingly not 'suspected hijackers')!
