I very much agree with you on that and for once didn’t stop to think about her being “young and attractive.” It’s exactly what the US does with the Natalie Holloway’s of the world…

Good question, Yasmin. I think another one is, would the Neda footage have been so prominent if she hadn’t been an attractive young woman? Would a paunchy, balding 50-year-old Iranian man received so much attention?

She might possibly have received the same coverage if she had been an American demonstrator killed by American police in front of the White House. But not if she were an Iraqi woman killed by American troops. Conservatives would have played the “treasonous media aiding the enemy” card.

I do think the media has crossed the line with the video. Sure, let us know that such a horrible event took place, tell us about her, and link us to her Facebook memorial. The video is not only unncecessary, but exploitative. What could her family possibly be thinking – would she herself have wanted her last moments on prime time? Of course not.

And if she had been American, I am certain the video would not be on CNN and likely would be also pulled off of Youtube, etc.

Yasmin. You ask an important question. I voted “No” — that the U.S. media would not show the video over and over again if it were a woman killed by U.S. forces.
