Tabloid sensationalism: Drowned father and daughter picture

[SteveG]

As you know, I have often posted about propaganda shot and tabloid distortions meant to mold opinion. I think the picture of the father and 2 year old daughter who drowned while trying to cross into the U.S. is such a case. It is being used to whip up sentiment and anger. Apparently the publishers and politicians flashing it around don't think the real border misery is enough, so they have to resort to this kind of tactic.

It's a step too far in my opinion, boarding on unsavory exploitive horror.
