The truth is,news is news. I agree with the editor that wrote in his column that if he had omitted the gory details in one story, then it would be harder to justify putting details in another story that would upset a whole new group of people.
Bad things happen.
It is just up to the journalist himself to decide what is newsworthy and what is not. I agree with every decision they made except the Jewish editor. He should not have interfered personally the way he did. If the businessman was selling ads to a Nazi paper and he knew it, he deserved the consequences. I am in no way a vengeful person, and in many situations stories have to be softened a little to benefit the greatest number of people.
