Commentary: Why does media sensationalize the wake of one of our countrymen executed in China for drug trafficking? While we mourn with their relatives, the media's "over coverage" of their tragedy is a disrespect for the privacy of their relatives, even when the latter seem to tolerate the unusual media exposure. Their death cannot be treated as something "heroic". Media needs to realize there are more worthy events to cover than "feast" on this national tragedy.
