IS IT EVER APPROPRIATE TO PUBLICLY DISPLAY SHOCKING PHOTOGRAPHS?
CBR is often criticized for the public display of graphic abortion images. Children, some people argue, should never be exposed to violent pictures. While CBR does what it can to minimize such exposure, it should be noted that mainstream media outlets often resort to the public display of violent pictures when such imagery is necessary to the news they are covering. These disturbing images are often seen by our children on television, on the front pages and covers of the newspapers and magazines delivered into our homes and on the covers of the news magazines featured in the magazine racks near the cash registers at every grocery store to which virtually every parent in America takes their children. Some parents are in such massive denial about the fact that their children are seeing these photos that they even make the laughable assertion that they “shield their children’s eyes” from offending images at the supermarket. PULLEEEEZE! Do they really think we are delusional enough to believe fictions as bogus as that one? Every day in the United States, approximately 4,000 abortions are performed. Abortion is an act of violence that kills a baby. Pictures prove that. So long as America accepts the practice of abortion, CBR will continue to show America pictures of abortion.
The photo above isn't of a dead man, it is a photo of a man being murdered. It is color and five columns wide no less! Notice that the thugs with clubs are beating the protesters but the soldiers are singling out and gunning down anyone with a camera. Once again, it is the pictures that matter.
Due to this widely seen AP photograph, reportedly of a women falling to her death from a burning hotel building, the photographer believed "fire [safety] codes were changed all over the country and maybe all over the world..
