[QUOTE="Jamjay, post: 2255182, member: 788036"] ...suicide & infanticied murder? Disturbing correlation: The more the media at large obsesses with infanticide slaughter & suicide the more common place it is becoming. I do not condone any dumbing down or censorship but must it always be 'up in lights & front page' The architects of these stories rarely portray the tragedy & consequences that such 'selfish' acts leave behind, but such saturation of these stories is beginning to normalise such behaviour in the eyes of some down & susceptible people. We now often see the facebook condolences in text speak & bad grammar & as often as not wholly inappropriate. Once these acts were the ultimate evil & taboo & were hardly spoken of partly because it hardly ever happened. The media at large has resposibility to portray these events without sensationalising & sadly this is not always the case. These days there are many front pages that should not be tomorrows 'chip paper'. I was curious if other folks feel the same or have a differing point of view but I simply cannot see any benefit in the reporting of such tragedy as it is currently handled by the modern sensationalist media.
