Bad taste!

I was shocked and embarrassed to see the horrible, bruised, bloody faces on the TV that aired the news of a bus accident occurring on 26 April in Tangail. It is nothing new that by calling it the freedom of the media, the TV channels broadcast the clippings of wailing patients, their bloody bodies and corpses. Though they are quite interested to chew the common, favourite term --human rights, they even do not know the fundamental principles of journalism concerning the HR. In no way the human rights are preserved, when these types of scenes are aired without scrupulous and cautious editing.
