Humanity likes to think of its self as something outside of the natural order. Dispite the intelectual accpetance of evolution, man continues to hold himself in a place seperate from that of the beast. It follows that the news agencies report on the concpetual sphere but fail to display for its viewers viewers the barbarism that is the true color of anthropomorphic existance.
I wish that the news would stop hiding the gruesome truth from its viewers so that maybe people would have a stronger response to the worlds injustices. To see the true nature of war, of excecution, and of torture would alter the cavilere western attitude of the toward the suffering perpetrated by tyrants and false prophets.
Analagous to the proverb of "the difference between knowing the path and walking the path", so to can the realism of graphic footage provide tangible fodder for action. I understand perfectly well that action in the Sadam context not readily plausible, but the logos beind the free display of powerful media can serve many causes. Maybe action in Darfur would be spurred on if the public were exposed to real images of genocide, maybe Saddam would have been ousted years ago if we visually understood the meaning of torture, maybe the starvation of millions of North Koreans would not go so quietly in to the annals of our collective conciousness if the imagry lingered in our thoughts because of its potency.
I do not ask for the gruesom becasue it its such; i reqeust reality: cold, cut, dried, and unfiltered. See the mirror, not rosey glasses.
