If you believe the context was correct, why would you then say that it was "for entertainment"? That makes no sense.
If you want to debate the issue of these pictures, I don't think bringing up janet jackson's boob will help in any way. The shock of her boob was caused by it NOT BEING APPROVED, and being generally inappropriate with regard to those who were watching it. Neither of those points have anything to do with context. These pictures were approved to be aired beforehand and are ALL about the context in which they were used.
If you blindly stamp this as "for profit", then where do you hold back that stamp on other issues?
I suppose you would put your "for profit" stamp on all the news coverage of our (America's) national tragedy on 9/11/01, in which some 3,000+ people were captured losing their lives.
Journalistic context. You seem to dismiss this notion immediately as though it were not important.
