I see your point, Shauk, but if you take away neutrality with the news, then people aren't going to be cool with that either. We already feel that the media is biased, how are we going to feel if the news presenter appears more passionate about one murder victim than another? We'll decide that they are prejudiced, either by race, class, social status, etc. The only option is neutrality.
Anyway, here in England, there are people presenting the 'news' in less neutral terms - but they are seen more as political commentary and / or propaganda (either for or against mainstream media).
But I agree on the desensitization. It's horrible, makes us less human.
