[edit] Contemporary usage

I find the section about it being a media-specific usage a bit dubious. In Canadian usage at least, the phrase merely means "raise an alarm, make a fuss," in other words the simplest sort of analagous use. Someone complaining to a group of people noisily and what have you. The specific case of a -media- hue and cry doesn't seem to be an unusually important use of the phrase, and the part about opposing sides inevitably forming around an issue seems downright unrelated to the phrase. 142.167.160.206 (talk) 07:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Removed at least the strangest bit of it; left the rest for the moment. :-) User:Glenn Willen (Talk) 02:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
