His assumption (and yours?) is that we think that making public pictures of the dead is the barbaric thing. No - it was the drooling hi-fives from the anchorpeople that gave me the shivers.

"Ovarian Cancer rates rose to an unprecedented level in 2002 according to a vague academic source, coinciding with another published report stating that 80% of fish sampled from local grocery stores was saturated with mercury, Public school test scores are down statewide as the variation between urban and rural curriculum was not adequately quantified and here is footage of debris from the elementary schoolbus that was hit by a passenger train... Next up! the Frugal Gourmet will show us all how to make Lime Ricky Cupcakes from mashed potato mix and ketchup."

There hasn't been a Walter Conkite since Walter Cronkite.
