The Media - Images of War
On this subject, as distasteful as it is, I can see the point that the New York Times is making.
Unfortunately, I can't see, how the Times can justify NOT also publishing the items that Mr. Hinderaker lists.
In our world of bias and intolerance for conflicting opinions, I find the PowerLine blog to be more than reasonable.
Advantage: Hinderaker...

This posting, by John Hinderaker lists several categories that are never published, and asks for fairness:
"So, if we're going to have a debate about when it is necessary to show graphic images of violence so that Americans can be better informed about the consequences of government policies, by all means let's go at it. But let's not pretend that the only time the issue arises is when a newspaper wants to publish photos of dead and dying soldiers for the purpose of turning public opinion against a military conflict."
