Ultimately, I think the issue is choice.

FOX news was wrong to air it, no doubt in my mind because I doubt most people were expecting it and they werent given the choice to look away.

Right now if I wanted to go and watch that video a quick trip to Google, a couple choice words and voila! But that would be me actively seeking out a video that I want to watch, fully knowing what I'm getting into and what content is expected.

Showing that on the news, not so much. As has been previously pointed out, if it was an 'accident' then whats the point of the 5 second delay?
