That's the point. There's no reason to digitally erase the word kill. Erase the swastika or the word Jews or the entire thing, maybe. But just erasing the work Kill can have only one effect. Turning a threatening piece of graffiti into just a bias one. But how would I know what channel 9 had in mind. All I know is that they went out of their way to manipulate the public. (we're talking digitally recoloring the sections to make it look like the word wasn't there, not just blurring it out).
