I love Ken's solution to "we don't know anything, but we have to comment". 1) Point out that there is pressure to say something definitive when we don't know anything. 2) Berate those that fall for that. 3) say what do know, provide a set of plausible scenarios that could fit the facts, but point out we are missing a crucial piece of information.

The result 1) Ken get's the click bait click, and 2) people who read the article actually come out knowing more than the did before they clicked, and maybe able to exercise patience wating for a more definitive conclusion.

... oh and when the plea agreement becomes available Ken just needs to point to 'this supports conclusion 2" rather than him picking some conclusion and back peddling on it when more information comes out.
