If the TV News says your a Murderer or a Drug smuggler, are you one then?

The news people are usually pretty careful to say 'accused drug smuggler' or something like that. Even if the person has gone to court and found guilty, they will usually say 'convicted drug smuggler'. Why? Because if it turned out they were wrong they would probably get sued. So, when or if you hear something from a source like the news, or even an attorney for example, listen carefully to what they say. I would say if a person is trying to get you to believe they (or someone else) is a drug smuggler by using the news as a source, I would not believe it without further proof of some kind.
