At the below-referenced URL, CBS News has juxtaposed a blown-up image of Aiyana Jones's grieving father against images of scantily clad woman accompanied by headlines such as "Cassie Smith Too Fat for Hooters," "Kendra Wilkins Sex Tape Scandal," "Nicki Minaj Sextape Video Scandal," and "Cannes Film Festival 2010."
