You'd rather see bloody victims? I find it offensive when photographs
intrude on people in traumatic situations in the name of news. I may need
to know there has been an accident on the interstate, but I don't need to
see people on stretchers or mangled bodies to get the point across. For me,
this falls into the 'just because we can doesn't mean we should' category.
My two cents as a non-native living in Iowa.
