No, but when a major disaster occurs, it is important to show how serious the disaster is.
The purpose of television news is to use pictures to tell the story.
I would show the bodies in as respectable, far-away view as I could so people would actually "get it."
Why not just show the live people who are urinating and defecating in the streets? You can blur out their faces,and show their feces.
As long as you need to see the worst human suffering imaginable while sitting in your easy chair eating popcorn, nothing I have to say will change it. I just believe it is a sorry reflection on a civilized society.
