Actually, in this case, I think the media is fairly innocent. Owens told the police he had intended to harm himself(later saying that he was incoherent and was too dazed to remember what he told them), and witnesses who watched him chug a few pills corroborated that claim.
So, in this case, the media only reported the "facts" that came from the police reports. That's why the police are apparently asking for an
apology from Owens.
