Using graphic images

January 18, 2010 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

The Post explains their use of graphic images from Haiti:

We recognize that these pictures are disturbing. But we think that they are also a necessary — indeed, a central — part of telling this story completely. They communicate in a powerful manner the true horror of what has taken place in that country. And understanding that horror is necessary, we think, in order to galvanize as swift and powerful a response as possible to help the people of Haiti.

Or you could just say it sells papers. But my point here is that when pro-lifers use graphic images to show who dies in an abortion they are held in absolute revulsion by some. Not me. It’s a tool that won’t work for everyone, but for some it will “communicate in a powerful manner the true horror of what [is taking place] in [our] country. And understanding that horror is necessary, we think, in order to galvanize as swift and powerful a response as possible to help [Canadians].”

    I find it odd that the Post sees a need to explain, albeit apologize, for publishing ‘disturbing’ pictures. Such pictures are on everyday television shows. About the only time we hear disturbing pictures should be hidden is when those pictures are of those who die in abortions.
