She said media not online chat rooms. Most likely she was talking about TV and newspaper/magazine coverage. I believe Mignini was also referring to media not chats.
If any side had effect, I'd say the PG side had more influence with "journalists". People like Barbie and Vogt were more influenced by the PG fake experts than any significant reporters were influenced by PI experts.
As I've said before, the early PI positions that turned out to be false, such as "Amanda never met Rudi" actually hurt later more accurate information coming from the PI side. I think the early, early attacks on Mignini, though most likely deserved, were counterproductive.
So I guess confusing online to media is the butterfly effect?

I do think the DNA experts may have had some influence but not our's here, with the exception of Chris H.
I think the accusations of infatuations with either the victim or the exonerated is a straw man with the exception of PQ.
One of the saddest aspects of the case has been the comparison of the two main females in beauty, smarts and likability. They were similar in all aspects.
