Later Photo magazine did a tribute to photographers who captured the days events. The French edition of Photo showed a corpse being placed in a bodybag. The American edition didn't even show a wounded person.
As bombing gave way to injuries, we were treated to footage of such people. The news scours for reports of our military being injured (the first fatalities being a couple of men who were accidently run over).
Then when this story comes along, the news plays all coy about revealing the exact nature of what was on the video/how the kidnap victim died. Just say: he's dead. Anything to minimize the severity of the actions of his abductors.
So right. That is exactly what has happened.
It became apparent very quickly that to SHOW the violence, the death, the people jumping to their deaths, was very politically incorrect, because it might make people dislike, or even hate, a religion (islam) or a group of people (arabs.)
