It's a fine line between respect for the dead and their living relatives, and censorship. It's true that nobody wants to find out Uncle Harry's dead by seeing his face on the evening news.
There's also a difference between showing distance shots of the dead, and showing an ultra-close-up.
I think they've actually done quite a job showing the scope of the disaster, even without seeing the fields of the dead. It's clear it's a nightmare down there.
What I do want to see is- people being fed. People being housed. People clearing the streets of debris and rebuilding the city. I'm sure we'll get there, just a matter of time.
