In a way, I am not in agreement with the media censoring what they could be showing us. I think a stark reminder needs to be sent on the real cost of not evacuating. The images we should be seeing would shock us into reality on what a significant storm such as this can do. I'm not saying they should be showing us bloated bodies in a house, but just think about some of the images from 9/11 of people falling from the WTC and their impact on us. They remark about bodies everywhere, yet we must take their word for it. Maybe even confine it to afterhours with plenty of warning. I think it is important for us to have access to these images to get a grasp on the human cost, not just the property losses.
I have been tired of the censoring from day one. Only local channels were showing the troops helping people into trucks to get them out of there. I got fed up with cable news and turned them off.
Totally agree. People need to see exactly what has happened down there. No need to show the gruesome stuff 24/7 but it s/b shown perhaps 3 times in a 24 hour period--with plenty of notice to the audience so those that need to turn away have time to do so.
