Just a little bit of exaggeration by CNN (may be NSFW)

I came across this sensationalist headline on CNN this morning: "Mexican Journalist's naked, bound body found beside highway".

OK, understand, this is a horrific crime that has occurred, and the unfortunate deceased by the name of Anabel Flores Salazar was an obvious victim of the current lawlessness which is occurring down there.  But after deciding to do a little Googleing of her name and looking for photos, it appears that CNN decided on a little titillation for their viewers, since my curiosity was piqued by the verbiage which was used.

According to the article, "a woman's body had been found naked and bound, with her head wrapped in a plastic bag."  Well, they did get one out of two right, as the photo I found on Google Images does show her bound, but she was still mostly clothed, although she appeared to just have panties on from the waist down.

So as you can see, while the images are somewhat horrific, it is not as exciting as the headline puts it out to be.  I find it a shame that mainstream media has to stoop to such levels to attract readers hoping for some excitement out of such a tragic event.

This is yet another reason why I do not trust most all of the media and always try to get at least 2-3 different points of view on what is happening.
