Lot of anger around the Mayor's press conference on sky\bbc etc currently, i cannot imagine the shock and grief these poor people are going through, some heads need to roll.

If nobody goes to Jail over this it will be another black mark against our country

any evidence that they post more gore than any other papers?

The daily mail was pretty swift on the Manchester thing with showing Associated Press photos which were taken inside the event with bodies and blood all over the place, got to admit, it was a bit much.

Are you sure it isn't anything to do with you simply not liking those two publications? I hardly think that all other news outlets are innocent in this regard.

She's as spineless as they come, probably too scared of being questioned with cuts under her watch as Home Secretary.

To be fair the DM is rather picture heavy. I don't remember the guardian publishing those photos (could be wrong).

I don't remember The Guardian or BBC publishing those photos.

so what? The point is surely a more general one - cherry picking one particular set of photos and building an argument around it whereby you conclude that two major publications should be banned is rather dubious

First I saw of the bodies was in the New York Times. Didn't realise UK publications had been showing them (I only really check Guardian, BBC, Telegraph, Independent)

Usually, our media doesn't show dead bodies of our own citizens out of respect to the families.

Well if they didn't release complete trash, i might have a different opinion. The Independent can go straight in with them, similar level of **** rag.

right, so we just ban publications you don't like essentially... this was the basis for the statement in the first place

It's not cherry picking, they do it all the time. Doesn't matter what the subject is or what the victims might think.

To be honest I don't know for a fact they posted them(can't even search back as they have so many articles on it). I don't really read the DM any more. Comments section isn't very funny these days.
