Comments on: AP Posts Picture of Dying Marine…Against Wishes of Marine’s Family http://urbangrounds.com/2009/09/julie-jacobson-go-to-hell/ Sometimes the truth hurts Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:23:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Croc Hunter http://urbangrounds.com/2009/09/julie-jacobson-go-to-hell/#comment-154332 Croc Hunter Sun, 06 Sep 2009 04:29:06 +0000 http://urbangrounds.com/?p=6584#comment-154332 What AP did was unforgivable and they need to have sanctions levied against the reporter and the AP service. I am for free speech but sometimes the press is like a pack of wild dogs on fresh meat and they don't care who gets hurt.

The AP did not do their job investigating BOTH candidates in an unbiased manner before and during the election. Now they cite the publication of a photo of a mortally wounded soldier AGAINST THE WISHES OF HIS FAMILY as an example of good journalism. Unbiased reporting is a relic of the past. They are only interested in publishing whatever may suit their agenda -- professional integrity, human dignity, and compassion be damned.

That they would do this to this young Lance Corporal and his family is beyond reprehensible. I hope their is some method for the family to punish AP for this violation of their dignity and privacy, as well as the pain. I would make all AP embeds stay inside the wire from now own. They only want to get close enough to the tip of the sword to take photos, and use the pain and suffering of our warriors and their families for their own ends. Al-Press, Al-Reuters, and others, are not our friends. My deepest sympathies go out to the Bernard family. Losing their son is painful enough, without having the personal image of his last moments of life used in this way. AP would never show a photo of one of their own in the last moments of life.
