"I agree with your assessment of Americans being treated like babies. I have mixed feelings in some ways because I don't want the victims' families to see their family and friends death be sensationalized or exploited."

In other words, treat them like babies?

If you actually took the effort to read my post you would see that I think the US media should show more images of terrorist violence. The comment you took out of the context of my actual statement pertained to the fact that despite my beliefs I can sympathize with victims' families who might be arguing against CBS showing their loved ones have their heads cut off on national television. People on this forum should take the effort to read any post to which they decide to respond.

"But I think the images of 9/11 (some of which appeared on the HBO documentary) with bodies falling to the street and other extremely graphic event should be shown more often. I also think that the news should show images of the be-headings and stonings carried about by extremists. People should be warned and given a chance to look away or turn off the TV since some people really cannot take that kind of stuff, but the images should be out there to show what we are really facing as a country."


This is the comment right after the one you intentionally took out of context. That comment simply stated that I want the media to do this in a responsible way.
