    I never said it shouldn't be reported. It should be front page news.

    However making a morbid curiosity and show of the poor man being burned to death is nothing much shock jock ratings tactics thats sick and disgusting.

    I never said anything about not reporting it. But for heavens sake you don't show a man being murdered in the name of religion to millions of people. Broadcasting these attrocities is what they want. Its part of their strategy.

    And to make a skeptical of a man being burned alive for ratings is just absolutely disgusting.

    Yeah you keep trying to play that.

    They are doing it for shock value and ratings. You don't make a spectacle of a man being burned to death and try to sell it as just reporting the news.

    :alcoholic:Broadcasting the truth to the people is not doing it for ratings...its what they are suppose to do. The people want to know whats going on. Nothing the left media seems to do. All they do is cover it up or ignore it. Just like the left.

    we can inform without showing the terrorists propaganda films on public TV

    I have been informed, never saw the video, or any of the videos they have produced, I do not need to have those images in my brain

    :alcoholic:Thats good for you. But many may want to see the truth to really know what beasts the ISIS are. Like I said if you don't like what you see on the news then just change the channel.

    the terrorists want everyone to watch their propaganda films, spread the fear, I would say report they exist and if people really want to see them, they can look on-line

    Yep. Because showing millions of people a man being burned alive...educates them some how.

    Get a grip. Its nothing but a shock value ploy for ratings. Trying to be controversial. And in doing so they spread the terrorists message, methods, brutality, and give them a platform to try to recruit.

    Fox news may very well have hoped into bed with ISIS.

    I'm sorry but there seems to be some confusion. ISIL broadcast this event, ISIL alone produced the atrocity.

    Their strategy, if as you state, is flawed and the flaw is in thinking it draws converts to their cause. I proffer it does not and this video, instead of being hidden should be seen. Let the world see what brutal men and actions Islamic fundamentalism produces.

    Cheers

    Really if you can't understand the sick spectacle of broadcasting a man being burned to death then I really don't think you have the empathy or humanity to grasp anything about this.

    Its not just broadcasting the news. Its broadcasting murder. Its using the horrible death of an innocent man at the hands of brutal terrorists to get ratings.

    Its disgusting.

    You act as though the video isn't available on jihad websites. It is. Potential converts to radical Islam aren't watching Fox and in reality it isn't easily available on Fox, just links that require multiple clicks.

    Let those that are enticed to Islamic fundamentalist cults be recruited, let them travel to Iraq and Syria. Let us then kill them there as a group.

    Cheers

    and you really believe setting people on fire is going to help ISIS recruiting?

    Na, Itll do the opposite, and encourage opposition to ISIS.

    Its obvious why obama doesnt want the American people to know whats going on in the world, but I wouldnt blame fox for doing their job.

    Personnally, Im surprised it took this long.

    you can report on what is going on without showing the terrorists propaganda video's

    I do not want to see people burned, hanged, heads chopped off, electrocuted, whatever on my TV

    And as we see here daily their tactics are working on the weak mined that simply cannot figure out that they are be played and the fear and hate they live with is exactly what the terrorists were trying to accomplish. Sheeple are easily led and not bright enough to even realize it when others inform them of the fact, not much one can do about that, as the saying goes; there is no cure for stupid.

    I think in most cases your right. This was so horrible that I think anyone but the hardest core, would be so turned off about this, they would never join ISIS. As a matter of fact I just read that two Chinese terrorist from ISIS were murdered for trying to leave the organization.

    I see the Lefties don't want this type of footage to get out. It hurts their agenda of normalizing ISIS.

    Well Robert, your not going to defeat them with air power only. Even then, there is no one on the ground to direct the air power were doing. Sooooo stupid.

    Fox is just reporting that Jordan sent up 20 fighter jets to attack ISIS main city. Blowing many buildings.

    You do if you think it might affect change. Do you remember the Burning Monk of 1965? That affected change all the way to the White House. For good or bad, you must air it.

    Then again, the media had no problem running the Abu Graib pictures 24/7, now did they? They didn't need to, according to the left. All they had to do is say something like, "naked terrorist pyramid". People could then paint their own pictures.

    Indeed. If you open a few eyes, then perchance, you have a few less village idiots.

    It was broadcast by ISIL as a propaganda piece. \

    And Fox rebroadcast it. So what are they promoting?

    There is a difference. That was american soldiers abusing prisoners. That was our people. We hold ourselves to a higher standard than terrorist. At least I would hope we do.

    LOL. Really? These people are in the thick of it, with ISIS on their borders. Not sipping on a latte in their grandmother's basement banging a keyboard by someone who thinks they aren't being rational.

    The only difference is in the viewpoint of the people showing the videos/pictures.

    I'm embarrassed by what the left has done to this country. Let's make damned sure we roll footage of another measles outbreak in another state, but we can't tackle an existential issue like ISIS even after they have threatened to behead the President in our own White House.
