This is true

I live in Canada now and last week a ski cross racer was killed in a race crash. Over and over again the news showed the crash, in slow motion and from different angles.

There are far worse things shown on TV and on the front pages of the papers, not just the Sun but all of them. The question is if he wasn't a famous footballer shown collapsed on millions of TV's would anyone care or complain about seeing his body on the cover of the paper? What if he were a rebel in Syria right now?
