I just saw a piece on MSNBC where they prominently featured the face of a
man who helped someone out of the WTC on 11 Sep 2001 -- and just because
they don't know who the man is, they have created a composite picture of him
and posted him as if he were a wanted man on the national news.
Now I understand their desire to make human interest stories go, but I think
it is outrageous to take the image of a person and smear it all over
national TV, creating a manhunt for someone, when all the person did was to
help someone else out in a public place.
If I were this man, I would sue them for as much as I could get and do all I
could to try to recover what semblance of privacy I might barely still have
left after being exposed on national TV without my permission.
Is this all we have left of our privacy?
