The US Media showed trial on Saddam on the Television... was it fair on the part of media to show the horrible images of Saddam's Hanging on TV?

Saddam's Hanging should not have been shown on television. Although, I do not agree of the man Saddam chose to be in his life and am angry that he has killed so many innocent people...a killing of any sort should not be broadcast. I have not seen the hanging and I am not interested in watching it... that's just my choice. Think about the child who imitated the hanging and lost his life...do you think it was wise to show the details of the hanging? Although the parents should have explained to the child what was happening, the news is watched by families. The media needs to take this into more consideration. But hey, these are my views...next to how many. Thanks for the topic!

I wont comment whether it is fair or not!! But they are damiging their own interests by showing the footage to public as more outrageous people develop haterd which be very dangerous as they are most eay targets for terror groups to hire people, and attck their own interests.

I didn't watch it because I just thought it was horrible, but some people don't think that way and that's why it was shown on tv.

Acc. to me it wasn't unfair as well as Saddam himself did kill so many of people by spreading terrorism all over the world and also the people of Iraq themselves were not happy under his rule.
