Have you seen the photo that has been rotating on Yahoo Mail for the past 24 hours? It is
being called "iconic" by Yahoo. Iconic? I think of The American Flag, Apple Pie, Bing Crosby singing White Christmas, Times Square, Lady Liberty but NOT a photo of a man making his life and death decision to plummet to his death by jumping out of his office window at the World Trade Center on Septe,ber 11, 2001.
Why would Rogers Media and Yahoo ever use such a photo? It is enough to have seen such a scene on live tv, as I did, on the morning of September 11, 2011, but I have no desire to ever see this photo or any others in the same vein, again.
What aout this man's family? Friends? Wife and children? Or don't you care Yahoo and Rogers Media? You have reached the lowest of the low for brass, classless media bytes.
Anything for a story. Blood leads. Pain leads. Tragedy leads. But you Yahoo! and Rogers Media are at the bottom of the list of Class Companies. Richard Drew was the photographer.
Watch out Karma's a bitch.
