Should the Media censor images?

I think that there is a difference between censoring images because they are too graphic and simply with holding images. I think that its hard to say what is too much for the public, sometimes we do need to see the awful stuff to really comprehend the situation and other times enough is enough. There is a line between the two, and I think that the media sometimes wants to make the decision for us on what should be shown. I personally think that images should be available to the public, not to say that there should be gory pictures on the front page of the news every where, but the information needs to be available. And I think that is why Jensen thinks that the media sometimes portrays a different story than the one that is going on because if all images were available to the public than the story would be just out there. "A picture is worth a thousand words" that is such a true statement, pictures can explain a situation without even saying anything. And Jensen also makes a good point that maybe the media wants to portray a story a certain way to have peoples opinion on the situation under control, even if that story is not the truth. But that is not up to them, people need to KNOW the truth not BE TOLD the truth. Because that is when things get confusing.

I just hope that one day people won't be afraid to see the truth... even if it hurts.
