News on TV : Gore like reality or smother ,convenient stories?

Question

War , famine , crime...do you want to see the raw material or you don't want to be exposed to any disturbing footage ?

Answer 1

Raw footage on war and famine, as prettying-up the picture doesn't bring the situation home to most and causes an eventual detachment from the facts emotionally in the populace that borders on sociopathic symptoms, such as lack of empathy.  As to crime, no.  Victims and families of crime have a right to sensitivity.
