CNN "Discovers" Haiti

Yesterday CNN was trumpeting the "news" that its reporters had "discovered" a mass grave site in Haiti, on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince.

That focus very much disgusted me, as it suggested that there was some sinister event involved, as in past wartime atrocities.

This is obviously not war, but rather a natural disaster.

With reports of 30,000-100,000 dead, I believe it would be utterly stupid, if not physically impossible, to avoid mass graves.

Where is the news in this? What is the "discovery"?

With their continued (today you can read about the "Mass Pits [that] Hide Haiti's Dead") exploitative coverage of this tragedy, CNN has shown, once again, that all they really care about are the sensationalistic features of the story and, ultimately, the profits that such "reportings" support.

Shame on CNN.
