Reply to comment by Juggs_gotcha in CNN ‘deeply regrets’ distress caused by report on Thailand nursery killings by darthatheos

They're not "apologizing" for their normal reporting style, they're "apologizing" for showing things that are banned by many countries' censors and disturbing a crime scene.

This is more akin to if they accidentally showed a titty in the US, while trespassing.

That statement does fairly well sum up my absolute perplexity at the state of U.S. culture. Gun violence daily, deaths en masse? Throw it up there on television, no worries.

One single nipple? You scum bag what are you trying to do, turn our children into strippers?

I don't get it. I'd rather the news play a thirty second montage of every celebrity cooch shot that has ever been taken than have to wade through seeing where a bunch of kids were fucking murdered.

I saw a dude get shot live once, the station freaked the fuck out about it. It was an accidental clip they got of a dude shooting himself.

I get the general vibe of your post, but the news shows doesn't like showing real violence or nudity. It shows anything up to that though.
