You Would Expect Better From Reuters


Reuters is one of the leading news organizations in the world but the thought of making a bunch of money off Miley Cyrus was just too much for them to ignore. At the Much Music Awards the other night, Miley Cyrus performed in a white outfit. At one point during the performance she took off more clothes which caused the clothes she was wearing to shift, which caused the area between her legs to be exposed.

Reuters made the decision to go ahead and sell the photo even though most organizations that are using it are censoring it. The picture is actually much worse than the photo Perez posted last week, but Reuters just doesn't care.

Reuters says that because Miley was performing in front of hundreds of people and television cameras that it somehow justifies the fact they can show a minor's naked body parts. FOX News was told by Reuters that the photo was only available to print organizations and not available online, but Fox was able to download it and purchase it without any restrictions at all.

Reuters says the photo does not promote child pornography. I say that is crap. You mean to tell me that a child porn freak is more interested in a fully clothed picture of Miley rather than one where you can see everything? That makes no sense. Of course FOX News is just as bad because on their site they have a link to the uncensored photo. I guess they just wanted to provide themselves some cover.
