Please, someone out there. tell me that I am not the only person who found the news coverage of the awful events in London yesterday, intrusive.

I know it was a media circus, but was it REALLY necessary to show us the poor unfortunate man being wheeled into a London hospital by the paramedics, with a Doctor perfoming cardiac compressions (heart massage)....the camera zoomed in and he was clearly identifiable.
I just hoped that his loved ones were spared that picture.

The news teams seemed like vultures....waiting to see who could show us the most shocking pictures.

OK....the news needs to be reported, but have we lost all sensitivity......?
