Goddammit!  
Here I am on my lunch break trying to read the news and I pull up [foxnews.com](http://foxnews.com) to be disgustingly greeted on the homepage with the dead and nast pic of Uday and Qusai on the fucking homepage!

WHAT THE FUCK?

I hate you [foxnews.com](http://foxnews.com)… There is more journalistic integrity in the piece of toilet paper I just wiped my ass with than in your whole, bloated shitty excuse for a news organization.  
FUCK YOU!

What a lame rant. I saw those pictures on MSNBC.

I don’t like Fox either, but welcome to the real world.

CNN put them on an inside page with a couple of warnings.

There were on CNN and Yahoo news too. That’s not the point of the rant. The OP is complaining that they were on the front page of the site. On Yahoo, at least, you had to click a link to see them so you could opt out.

I do it’s pretty sick how the News media (especially Fox) has been celebrating and gloating over the deaths of two human beings. Any one who takes pleasure in killing them is not much better than they were.

I’m inclined to agree. I don’t think anyone out there thinks that These two aren’t very bad men™ but a celebration of a killing is pretty f’ed up.

Fox appears to have put them behind a link now.

Exfuckingactly.

If I wanted to take a peek at them, I would have clicked on a link.

You get the point now, Libertarian?:wally  
And yeah, it kinda was a lame rant.

With Uday you could argue they’re an improvement.

Actually my “My Yahoo” page had the dead bodies on the front page without having to click on any links. So it is not only Fox News.

You should be mad at the Govt for releasing the pictures. I guess since they finally have some proof they figure they better show everyone that they weren’t lying.

Now if only those darn WMD pics can be found.

Jeeze Louise, from what I read yesterday, the government was still debating whether to release the pictures when the “US is lying” tirades started. From where I sit, US credibility is so shot, they had no real choice about releasing the pictures.

Yahoo, MSNBC, et al., on the other hand, had a choice about where to place the pictures (which were pretty tame stuff).

I was ready for some truly grisly, faces of death type thing, and was surprised that they were stomachable. To be honest with you though, if you gave me a recent pic of Uday and that death pic of Uday, it’s not exactly picture perfect.

Man, I’d be a terrible witness.

</div>

They were on the CNN home page for at least a few minutes. Evidently reactions such as the OP’s caused them to move the pics behind a “Waring” clickable link.

But I’d note that Fox was not the only organization to make this journalistic choice. Will the OP extend his excoriation to MSNBC and CNN?
