Try harder. He is entitled to his opinion. Let it rest please.
The media has been sensationalizing death for as long as I can remember. We don't all get our panties in a bunch when we see some dead drug dealer or bank robber on the 10 O'Clock news, but when royalty comes into play, we think it is somehow different. I agree that CBS is doing this for entertainment value and ratings, but so what? Every network station has some sort of news program that shows death on an almost daily basis. We all should be numbed by this by now and the airing of her pictures should be no surprise to anyone! But it does. Now why is that?
Personally, I am not offended by it. I would probably watch it too. I don't think it is in bad taste because I would be a hypocrite, namely because I don't think the daily news I see is in bad taste.
