Are they SHOWING on TV the dying and dead in Convention Center and
the Superdome?

If the reality of Iraq is sanitized against our wishes, can what is happening in our own country be sanitized too?

3. The MSNBC camera man said there were many things he did NOT film because
he only wanted to film things they could show on TV. MSNBC still edited his footage down because they thought they couldn't show all of it. The camera man sounded a bit surprised about that.

5. CNN showed two of the dead inside the convention center
early this afternoon -- an elderly woman whose body was propped up in her wheelchair, her head covered by a blanket, and a sheet-wrapped body on the floor beside her. Kyra Phillips warned viewers before the footage was shown. She was obviously shaken herself, and after yesterday's obsession with looting, today she FINALLY seemed to understand just how horrifying this situation is, and how much people are suffering. She was angry at the government instead of the looters.
