Letter: Restore decency and taste to local television newscasts

This week, we've had morning, noon, night and late-night stories told over and over with disgusting details and photos of a sickening event in Pahrump. TV newscasters, I believe, will stoop to anything, even making persons ill, to run up their shock ratings.

It's intolerable and there should be a defined limit to reporting such inhumane tragedies (as well as car accidents, beatings and gang shootings). At the very least, limit photos and times of repeating.

They couldn't make a living on radio or newspapers.
