Why do news media outlets think it is so important to throw up (pun intended) images for their news stories? Most of them are “from the archives” or “file” images and are meaningless space wasters. Like this terrible one I saw this morning.
That’s a terrible image. Cheesy, yes. But TERRIBLE. Do we really NEED to have such an image to depict this story?!
Sheesh! While they’re at it, why don’t they just have some blood stains, or blood dripping from the knife? Why not have a severed head for a REAL eye-popping effect, huh?
Note to news organizations: skip the cheesy images. We’re all adults here. And while you’re at it, please ditch the cheesy bad breath treatment ads for “morning breath” and the underarm deodorant ads with people sniffing their armpits. They’re kinda dumb, too.
