Media Violence

I see nothing wrong with covering violent things in the news, but it is how they are covered that makes all the difference. Showing graphic things when they are not crucial to understanding the story is when the line is crossed. When things happen live it is harder to censor and make content decisions, but news stories that have hours to write before air have plenty of time to make good decisions on what to show and what not to show.
