CBS broadcast pictures of Diana Princess of Wales as she lay dying after a car wreck in France in 1997... I guess I just wonder, is there NO right to privacy, is there no barriers of good taste?
I dont want to be anti-US, and that isnt the point of this thread, but if the morality of America is horrifyed by a glimpse of Janet Jacksons breast, how can people at the same time accept such a grossly indecent invasion of privacy, and something so terribly hurtful to her family - to for the sake of entertainment showing pictures of someone dying?

You make a fabulous point that CBS would freak out over a living nipple (star covered but a nipple none-the-less) and then display these images if a dying woman suffering from an incredible car chase and crash. Quite hypocritical in my opinion.
