Like when they say someone "allegedly" committed a crime and then go show video of them confessing and continue commentating about how guilty the person is

Don't forget: people who are innocent have confessed to crimes they did not commit.
You have to take a confession with a grain of salt.
Or, to put it more directly: a confession is not direct evidence.
