Unwell Raptor
I'm not advocating censorship. The point that PP made was exactly what I was meaning.
From posts on other bulletin boards, it is clear that the footage was passed on to the news organisations without the knowledge or agreement of the camera crew, who as sub-contractors did not own the rights to the footage. It is also quite possible it was broadcast before the next of kin were informed.
To me this is unacceptable. Report the news - yes - but in a way that is sensitive to the feelings of the next of kin and allows the dead some dignity. Sensationalism just breeds further sensationalism and creates a totally false impression with the public.
