"When September came five years ago, no bodies were shown in a rare display of sensitive reporting and commendable journalism. A blast in Bali or in Mumbai, of course, is different since a different race, a different culture is involved. Show them the decapitated torsos; focus on the blood stained windows of a school in Beslan. Hit them hard with the images. We have a job to do."
That reflects poorly on Indians and Indonesians, not Westerners as the whinge seems to be alluding to. Indians are showing images of bodies, not some evil Western conspiracists. Similarly Westerners didnt show images of bodies, Indians just carried the same feed. I am sure if an Aaj Tak or NDTV van was parked near the WTC we would have seen our share of gory images.
