I'm not sure the thread is going that OT as it's themes seem to be due respect re loss of life, not going so far with this that basic freedoms are undermined and citizens being manipulated so that anyone with a different view is "off message" and can be silenced. It's a difficult balancing act but not so hard that we all have to toe the line as happens with Facist societies.
These are not one point issues eg I would defend the BBC in most arenas but a lot of "News" coverage is clearly infantalised [usually neutered as well with a good dose of cheery irrelevant football news so we don't get too anxious about anything]. The Glasgow Tragedy/Ebola and the CSA Enquiry ongoing strange saga can all be linked in that sense.
As an example Dame Butler S appeared to be completely outrageous in her lunchtime apparently unsolicited [otherwise why was she interviewed?] views on Radio 4 at 1-15 today. The victims group was completely outraged-justifiably so in my opinion. Now [on PM 5-15] there is a much longer statement which is the same but somehow different in emphasis
