Fuck this bullshit

Pardon my language, but this is patently absurd. From CNN.com today (highlight emphasis added):



"Watch relatives weep..."

Unbelievable.

What happened to those miners is pure tragedy. Enticing people to view the anguish of those families, in the pursuit of advertising dollars, is about the most disgusting thing I can imagine.

Scores of tragedies happen every moment, but we're only shown the marketable ones. This isn't a profound concept- "If it bleeds, it leads" has been gospel forever- but there's got to be a better way.
