Re: [Swprograms] DOUBLE STANDARDS!



Paul:

It has been years since CBS has produced a prime time evening program that I can stand to watch for a minute, let alone an hour.  This sad and wicked instance exploitation only underlines that fact.

John Figliozzi
CBS TV is being rightly crucified in the UK by no less a person than Tony Blair for showing pictures of Princess Diana dying after the car crash in Paris in 1997.  The people who watch American TV are clearly operating double standards here.  Firstly, they round on CBS for daring to show Janet Jackson's breasts, an incident so trivial it hardly deserves comment.  Yet a couple of months later they sit in front of their TV screens watching many of the same CBS stations showing the sickening pictures of Princess Diana.  I hope and trust that those of you in the USA reading this message did not stoop so low as to watch your local CBS affiliates last night.
 
Certainly if I was a watcher of CBS TV in the States I would be writing to my local affiliate leaving them in no doubt that they should not have shown such pictures, which surely go beyond the pale!
 
Now, back to the short-wave wireless.
