I was watching the breakfast news this morning on BBC1. They had a report about Amir Khan being knocked out in the first round of his fight last night.
They showed one punch to his head in slow motion and the effect on his head and face made me feel quite ill (am not normally squeamish). They then proceeded to show several more punches which knocked him down and him trying to get up but clearly unable to control his limbs. Was it really necessary to show this so graphically? Fortunately none of my children was in the room, but, if I found it distressing, how would it have affected a child? Showing those images did nothing to enhance the report at all.
Or am I being too picky??
