An internal police report of last year’s riots at Cronulla in Sydney has found that more than 270,000 text messages promoting racial violence were sent in the days leading up to the violence.

The report also blames the media for helping to fuel the tensions in the city’s south last December.

The article doesn’t explain who sent the messages?whether it was a small number of sources inciting violence, or whether, for example,100,000 people each sent 2.7ish texts to one another.

How exactly is the media accountable?

proberbly for exagerating the issue in news reports as they do.

If that's the case then I can understand. I was afraid it was a case of chastising the media for reporting on issues that pertain to the nation or the world, issues that need addressing and resolved.
