How do you feel about this report from a journalist?

Reporting Syria's war - the images you won't see

Correcting these falsehoods - both benign and malign - is the job of journalism. Right now we are not showing you the full horror of the war in Syria.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-37505131


Is not showing us the full horrors, extending and worsening the suffering?

Should we be shown it? And or children upset,until the suffering gets stopped?

Who else benefits from us not seeing the reality?

Is it in the interests of war mongers and politicians ?

Should we object to the kind of censoring, done in our own interests when it allows this situation to continue.

Is it a wrong choice to protect our sensibilities?

I wonder that it might be, that when we hear reports of our own countries involvement, perhaps we should be aware of the reality of the situation.

Watch the video, you can see and hear how it effects the reporters.

The war is Syria is sickening especially as Russia and Assad don't seem to care how many innocents are killed, not that the US is blameless either, imo.
