It may be hypocritical of CBS to air this without hesitation, and be in outrage about the Superbowl "incident", but is it not also hypocritical to criticize censorship endlessly following Jackson's nipple display, and then cry out for stronger censorship in this case?
Also - this is not an isolated case. Dead people are aired on the news frequently. It's hard to watch the latest Iraq footage without them sneaking in a body here or there. Why are the families of these victims less important than the Princes William and Harry? Should their non-regal status comparitively demote their rights?
In no way am I defending the actions of the CBS. I was saddened by the death of Diana, and don't appreciate stations glorifying her death for marketing purposes, but I thought I'd expose some different ways of looking at the situation.
