It isn’t common for mainstream media to post images of dead bodies. It has been considered bad form to show images of human death for decades, but there are times when the media is willing to make an exception. If you see a dead body in a newspaper, on television, or on a mainstream media website, you can count on one certain attribute: It reflects a piece of narrative they’re trying to push.
An example of this was yesterday when nearly every major media outlet showed an image of two dead migrants, a father and his 23-month-old daughter. It was a heartbreaking image, and clearly politically charged. Independent journalist Andy Ngo asked a series of important questions regarding coverage of the image on Twitter:
How come editors in msm don’t provide consistent principles on when to publish graphic photos of dead people & children? For example, there’s no holding back on images of dead migrants but they don’t run graphic photos of dead victims of terrorism or murdered Israelis. pic.twitter.com/HO9NpdyLsY

And @cnn in 2015 chose not to publish images from inside the Bataclan Theatre in Paris when 90 people were slaughtered by jihadist militants. The floor was soaked in blood. What are your guidelines?

His questions and brief observations say all we need to know. The reality of how journalistic standards are applied across the board depends solely on how invoking or breaking them will affect their agenda. This applies to both sides of the current ideological divide plaguing the media and the country as a whole, but anecdotal it seems the major right-leaning outlets like Fox News and WSJ tend to be more consistent with their reporting style.
This image is intended to invoke outrage over the Trump administration policies that supposedly caused these deaths. The odd thing is the Democrats are the ones whose policies have encouraged hundreds of thousands of migrants in recent months to pay outrageous sums to the cartels, make the dangerous journey to our southern border, sacrifice women and children to the sexual predators “guiding” them on their journey, and facing the dangers to their well-being they face along the way.
But the narrative says blame Trump, so that’s what they’re doing. It’s why they universally broke their own protocols to share a viral image of recently deceased migrants, including a toddler.
It may be too much to ask for consistency from mainstream media, but we should at least have our own understanding of their motives for doing the things they do. Hat tip to Andy Ngo for continued intrepid reporting.
