This reminds me of some of the medical reality specials they show on TLC, like the one about the boy from the South Pacific whose face was almost completely consumed by a tumour. Disturbing stuff.

No. They mean that, when reporting news, they should have the right to show what really happens, instead of shielding their audience from the truth or telling outright lies. And they shouldn't be prevented from that, asthat runs into the ideals of a communist country (controlling what your audience does and doesn't see to the point of leaving out what you consider undesireable). I doubt a news association would have any reason to excessively show porn, however.
