Usage of "would have been" is it used for past present continous form also ?

Could some body tell me the correct usage of "would have been" ? E.g.: Then the media would have been saying it's another case of negligence by authorities!

Use 'would have been' to express a past possible or impossible situation which did not come to pass ( I would have been an only child if my brother had not been born) .
