Media Influences

So, I,'m looking at the BBC news site this morning and I find a local article entitled 'Plan to free psychotic killer.' Another example of the media's need to equate homicidal tendencies with mental illness. I read the article and there seems to be an implication that releasing this man would be a mistake. Funny, isn't it how if you don't have a mental illness you serve a sentence and then are released without any media fuss. And I thought that campaigns, like Time to Change, were helping to reduce stigma for people with mental illness!
