Hypocrisy, isn't it great? How is a 1/2 a second breast shot more offensive than showing pictures of a dying human being??
Diana family sickened by pictures
CBS is beyond stupid if they think that it wasn't the least bit "graphic or exploitative" - the only reason news programs still do stories about Princess Diana is because they know it's an instant ratings boost. And if they didn't think it would be a big deal then why did they put out a statement before the show aired?
The network said: "A one-hour report from 48 Hours Investigates on Princess Diana's death will include photocopied images, none of them remotely graphic, that had previously not been seen and are part of a 4,000-page French government report the broadcast recently obtained."
Sounds awfully exploitative to me... and "graphic" or not, it's certainly still sick, distasteful, etc. Celebrity or not - she was somebody's mother, daughter, sister, and friend. CBS should, at the very least, respect that.
