Very often we watch homicide or mass killing on TV. This terryfying scene is watched by many children. Will this affect the children's attitude? Do you think such view shall not be on TV? I myself never want to watch it.

I remember back in the 80s where tv news reporting was limited only to the newscaster reporting without any videos of the victim's body. I appreciated the old times more than the news reporting these days.

Do you have any idea why the terrifying video of the killed victims is shown on TV. The video can be blurred, right?

@yanzalong sensationalized news appeal more to the public. That's why.

I would say so. Do they do that there? I wouldnt want to see any gory details. Our news here is not very graphic like that but you can find a lot of graphic events on social media.

Parents need to tell their children it is not real.
