Fox News and other agencies do the same thing any time they're reporting that something controversial or offensive took place. It's not because they actually consider it bad, it's that they know it's inflammatory and gets viewership.
Are you kidding? My response was 2 sentences about how I've seen them especially, and TV news in general, replay things they were saying were so "edgy" for TV, _on TV_. Just like the re-distribution of these images in an article about how inappropriate the taking of these images was. I don't know how to explain that more clearly?
From my initial reading of your comment, I thought you were defending the posting the photos on the grounds that FoxNews does it too. That is an excuse (a bad one), not justification.
It seems that wasn't what you meant. Maybe you would like to rephrase?
He was providing the reason for why the authors would have published the photos (by using Fox News as an example), not defending or justifying their having done so.
Oh I see. Not sure how to rephrase - but what I really mean is my very last statement - the author doesn't truly believe that it was wrong to take these photos so strongly that they aren't doing the same - they just know these photos are controversial enough to attract attention - and that's what they're after. I'm sorry if it's confusing...
