CBS broadcast pictures of Diana Princess of Wales as she lay dying after a car wreck in France in 1997... I guess I just wonder, is there NO right to privacy, is there no barriers of good taste?

I dont want to be anti-US, and that isnt the point of this thread, but if the morality of America is horrifyed by a glimpse of Janet Jacksons breast, how can people at the same time accept such a grossly indecent invasion of privacy, and something so terribly hurtful to her family - to for the sake of entertainment showing pictures of someone dying?
One word ---- MONEY

CBS will make money from showing the pictures. Plain and simple.

By the way I am an American and I think that showing the pictures is in extremely bad taste and I have not nor will I look at them.
