The title of this article really intrigued me. What Colberg is saying here, is why pictures of dead people in the news can be powerful, and, at times, necessary. Censoring certain things, like dead bodies after a natural disaster or terrorist attack, can be and is detrimental to the harsh truth of reality. Though there is a bit of contradiction here; it's OK to show dead foreigners, but not dead Americans. There is a difference in the news we have and the news we want.
