Should the press work within some moral boundaries?
I think the obvious answer is yes. We don't want the press hounding the bereaved for comments. We expect them to show some restraint when covering the families of politicians. We expect honesty. We expect decency.
Did the press cross a line taking partually nude pictures of someone from half a mile away?
Depends on where you want to set the boundaries; I think yes. Everyone is entitled to a certain amount of privacy. We should give them the same respect we would want ourselves.
