God you're a twat.
For a start you've changed from "western media" to "uk press"? (big jump)
For second you're clearly not gettting the right media, most broadsheets print some pretty hardhitting photojournalism. I've personally seen photos of stonings, burnt bodies etc in the Times and Guardian.
Your idea that people would be more enagaged with world affairs if they could see actual dead bodies is pretty depressing and perhaps not the sort of interest that somewhere like syria needs at the moment.
EDIT:Off to bed now. gaz me if you need to call me a twat back.

I won't call you a twat back ... as it's your opinion.
"western media" to "uk press" - pedant - Murdoch is involved.
It's not about engaging with world affairs ... most people don't care ... it's about saying 'fuck' and meaning it if they do see it.

Don't get your knickers in a twist over semantics on a comedy interwebs access portal, dearie.

my old man used to work for itn 198?-2003 as a vt editor. the things he has seen of wars and horrific accidents like this are kinda gruesome. i dont agree with you that thi stuff should be put on screens so peopple can gawp at them. dead bodies are not entertainment. i find the news' obsession with high body counts quite inhuman too. always fighting for as high a number as possible. It just seems wrong to me.
