HAH! “Die.” I get it. But, no, it’s wrong to wite-out the historical record. That’s not a nickname we’d use now, but it’s what they used then.
And there’s nothing wrong with the photo. The story is about that murder site and that body. It’s pertinent, accurate, informative, interesting, even respectful—if you weren’t told it was a body, you’d think it was a root. All the things we say we expect out of good journalism. (It’s also a hell of a lot better than another Mid-Journey fake-up.) To say “wtf” about it is more than a little over-reactive.
