Unable to run a mug shot, the CBS art department apparently decided it was just as helpful to give readers a bird’s-eye view of a rape in progress. Pure prurience is nothing new on the Web, but I would expect more discretion from the first network news division to have a woman as its public face. It’s obviously time to lower my expectations. How does the image, which a colleague called “rape clip-art,” add anything to the story? It doesn’t enhance the piece. It’s more likely to enrage a reader (if that reader is me, apparently) than enlighten her.
