[quote:Anonymous Coward 849232:MV85NjY3NzJfMTUwODMzMzBfRUY0RTlDMzk=] Yes. In general, they used to not show bodies or parts of bodies. Saw a photo yesterday of hundreds of dead lying on the ground in Haiti, so it looks like they are allowing more real journalism. [/quote]
Original Message
In any disaster I've seen on the news/web, the press are very careful not to show the dead.
You might get the odd dead body, but it's usually a bad picture and not very clear.
The Haiti photos are the most graphic I've ever seen (apart from a few obscure sources on the web).
It's like the powers that be are trying to show/tell us something. Are we being prepared for this kind of scene on a daily basis?
