Gizmodo, on the Steve Jobs Pics

Joe Brown:

There is a photo floating around the Internet of Steve Jobs looking very ill. It’s shocking. You won’t find it here. I’m not posting it. Instead, I’m posting a picture of myself that was also snapped unexpectedly. See above.

This isn’t about journalism or ethics or taste. We have violated those precepts before to bring you a story, and we’d do it again. But this time it just feels gross.

When Gizmodo — of all sites — refuses to post something, it’s a sign you probably should steer clear.
