Civilian Casualties in Iriaq for December continued to decline...of course this good news was tempered by a major Suicide Bombing in Baghdad on January 1st.
Civilian Casualties in Iraq for January continued to decline...of course AlQueda had two major Suicide Bombings in Baghdad today, the 1st of February.
This should pose an ethical dilema for News Editors...innocent people are being deliberately killed in order to influence story placement in their publications. Major Sucide bombings have now occured two months in a row on the day that the major Iraq story should have been that violence levels continued to drop.
We are all familiar with the maxim, "it it bleeds it leads"...but what if the inverse is true 'it bleeds,because it leads"
If story placement can be shown to be a causul factor in Murder, does that make News Editors an accessory to murder?
A serious ethical and moral dilema to be sure.
