It is the responsibility of any true news gathering and distribution organization to do exactly that. Gather and distrubte the news. I for one do not want some person or group of persons, deciding which news I should here, see or read. That my friends is censureship.
War is an ugly necessity. It should not be prettied up in the news. People have a right to know the good, the bad and the ugly.
If you don't want to see it, don't watch it.
If you don't want to hear it, don't listen.
But please do not tell me what I can or can not watch or hear.
If what is being reported is the truth, then it should be reported in full, no glossing over of facts.
There should only be one STANDARD when it comes to reporting and that is tell and show the truth. Nothing more, nothing less.
Truth is not sensationalism.
Either hacking is a crime or it is not. It can not be a crime for some and not for others. To believe otherwise is to put our entire Democratic systems and Freedom of thought and speech at peril.
What we should be protesting is our own news services making accusations and then saying they have photographic proof but we are not mature enough too see it. As long as they give a warning that something is graphically unsettling first, those photos should have been shown.
