Fox News has drawn criticism from a terrorism expert for giving ISIS what it wants by publishing the full video of the terrorists burning Jordanian hostage Muadh al-Kasasbeh alive.
Fox News executive editor John Moody defended giving ISIS a platform to spread terror and fear, “After careful consideration, we decided that giving readers of FoxNews.com the option to see for themselves the barbarity of ISIS outweighed legitimate concerns about the graphic nature of the video. Online users can choose to view or not view this disturbing content.”
ISIS is sharing links to the Fox News video on Twitter.
Terrorism expert Rick Nelson explained why Fox News erred by giving ISIS an American platform, “They’re a terror organisation. They seek to strike terror in the hearts and minds of people globally, and by perpetuating these videos and putting them out there into the internet, it certainly expands the audience and potential effects. These groups need a platform, and this gives them a platform.”
This may come as a surprise to Fox News, but it possible to report the news without helping the terrorists spread their propaganda. The decision to publish the video was a sensationalistic attempt to get attention on the part of Fox News. What Fox News did was aid and assist ISIS by publishing their video.
The goal of terrorism is not to kill. Terrorists want to spread fear. By giving ISIS a platform in the United States, Fox News has given ISIS a platform.
Fox News has committed a deplorable act by publishing the Muadh al-Kasasbeh video. The terrorists get exactly what they desire most when the media publishes their videos. Facebook and YouTube both refuse to allow the video to be published on their sites. Fox News has demonstrated that they are willing to assist terrorists and promote their agenda if it means more publicity for the conservative pseudo-news network.

Leave it to Fux Propaganda to support, and promote our nation’s, and the world’s enemies.
Twitter is supposed to delete anybody who publishes any video of executions of people. Why didn’t twitter delete this tweet. This is shameful.
Fox news broadcast license needs to be revoked. We the public owns the airwaves not foreigners like Murdoch who seek to destroy the nation like a fifth column .
FOX total intention is to Rabble-Rouse the American People into Hatred!
How They Spread Hatred:
Many people still believe this LIE

Faux is anti decency and America.
Faux needs to have the rug pulled out from under them.
Constantly Negative News (CNN) is no longer a news channel, it’s something but I don’t know what.
Beyond discusting
MSNBC along with other liberal networks showed the video.
Josef Goebbels is laughing as right now. Fox News IS our very own Conservative Christian Terrorist propaganda network. They advocate murder of doctors and litigation of the very people who are trying to protect us from the very enemies that our forefathers tried to insure against. They are evil personified.
Liberal networks? Really?
In Brief: Bloodthirsty Fox “News” Needs More Blood

SO WHY DIDN’T FOX POST PREVIOUS EXECUTION VIDEOS IN THEIR ENTIRETY?
Fox News has chosen to embed on its website the video of Islamic State burning a hostage to death, a move which makes them the only US media organisation to broadcast the video in full.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/feb/04/fox-news-shows-isis-video-jordan-pilot
Until you post anything that shows other media showed the execution in full you are a fukinkg liar
From The Washington Post, a fun fact that is unlikely to go viral in the MSM:
Predominantly, Muslim countries average 2.4 murders per annum per 100,000 people, compared to 7.5 in non-Muslim countries. The percentage of the society that is made up of Muslims is an extraordinarily good predictor of a country’s murder rate. More authoritarianism in Muslim countries does not account for the difference. I have found that controlling for political regime in statistical analysis does not change the findings. More Muslims, less homicide.

MSNBC refused to show it…or show proof you Faux Snooze lier.
tea bag/repubs watch Faux Snooze
Liberals watch CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, MSNBC, Al Jezeera and listen to NPR
This explains why Faux Snooze has higher ratings, liberals watch a varity of news programs.
Liar. Fox is the only one promoting terrorism by furthering isis propaganda.
Conservatism as a Mental Illness
Republican polls have recently exhibited 10 telltale signs of mental illness:
Denial, Delusion, Hallucination, Disordered Thinking, Anger, Anti-social Behavior, Sexual Preoccupation, Grandiosity, General Oddness, Paranoia

Conservatism Linked to Lack of Education
2010 – https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-big-questions/201002/conservatism-linked-lack-education
Fox news wants ratings and if that means helping terrorists and causing the death of some Americans so be it. Fox is our modern version or Tokyo Rose and Lord Ha Ha.
Faux Snooze is aiding and abetting ISIS
Faux Nooze: The tea bag cesspool of the dingbats, dumbbells and dickheads

ISIS Burned a Man Alive. That It is Nothing Compared to the Spectacular Lynchings of Black Americans
Carnival of Death: Lynching in America
http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/mass/lynching/lynching_2.html
So tell me white Christians, what’s the difference?
Fox is clearly engaging in the kind of seditious and genocidal propaganda that should get its license jerked.
Let us be exact: the ISIL fighters are no more characteristic of Muslims than Eric Rudolph or Timothy McVeigh were of Christians. As for the bloody-handed lynchings depicted in your link, they are no longer socially acceptable, but the incitement on Fox News is intended to bring them back… and to say: “Look! This is what the Kenyan Moozlamic outlander [pssst…black] President has in store for you! You know what you have to [psst pssst] do about it!
Post a link Jim..Oh thats right you lied.
Someone down voted you because you posted a fact.
Not one outlet other than Faux has posted this abhorrent video. Oh… wait ISIS also posted it.
I get it. You see monsters doing something horrible like videotaping an execution by immolation and it’s sickening, infuriating. Of course, that’s the point. They are manipulating you. (And, by the way, so are the ratings hungry media who pimp this stuff for hours on end…)
But how exactly do we “go after them harder”? Invade? Nuclear war? What’s the plan?
http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2015/02/04/guess-who-is-bombing-isis/
When you have a political party or a whole “news” network dedicated to rooting against their own country, cravenly undermining and lying on their President, and systematically dismantling the American Dream, consider this…..
What may seem far fetched or outrageous enough to be labeled a conspiracy theory, or Charles Manson worthy, may need to be looked into in order to stop us from being frightened into another conflict America’s leadership won’t be able to settle or win.
First, Al Qaeda, then Boco Haram and now ISIS.
We must always be afraid.
Maybe, we need to turn the tables on Fox News and accuse them of doing something contemptible for a change.
Is Fox News creating some of these horrible factions? They invent stuff and keep shit stirred up all the time anyway, don’t they?
After all Fox News has done to constantly keep the American people divided and the lengths they sink to with every breath they take on air, there’s nothing I wouldn’t put past those…
DJ, I went to the link on lynchings and I was SHOCKED!!!!
Why?
I would expect nothing less offensive from Fox than this. Stirring the flames of hatred is what they are good at.
OTOH, can all of the outside countries and news agencies agree to stop paying ransoms now?
FWIW, we have the largest stockpile of crude oil in the US since 1982. How about we pull out of the Middle East completely now and let them figure it out themselves? We could repurpose the military to R&D alternative energy and rebuilding our country. Bush and Cheney always told us that our military was GREAT at that stuff. If they’re so great at that stuff how about they do it for us instead of people we don’t need anymore?
Faux and ISIS both published the video because terrorists stick together.
It figures that a sleazy operation like Fox News would jump on that video. They are disgusting.
conrats fox news. not only are you about to be sued by the mayor and city of paris, france for libel, defamation and disparaging comments about no-go muslim zones throughout france and Britain, fox news is now cooperating with ISIS and doing EXACTLY WHAT ISIS WANTS YOU TO DO. UNFORGIVABLE!!! at fox news, ratings and divisive stories have always mattered more than lives.
great posts, Yvonne and ibwilliami. So totally agree, This time that network has gone too far
Have always thought that some Gov. classes should be required to graduate. There are way too many graduates from college that have no idea how GOV WORKS, and why.
My Daughter majored in political science. When talking to her you know she, understands how and why the Gov works the way it does. Not necessarily in agreement. But understands! Thusly then, she can make intelligent decisions.
Does this include honor killings?
Those are included where reported. At this point, I know of no country that makes them legal.
I have suspected powerful interests on the American Right of funnelling aid to the likes of Isis, just so they can keep scaring us into compliance with the bogeyman.
As long as there is Conservatism there will always be a conflagration.
Where the hell are you getting your information? Let me guess…Fix news. MSNBC absolutely did not show the video. They refused. Get your facts right before making ignorant comments like this. SMH
Plain and simple…Nothing ever good comes od Fox News. They report nothing but SHIT.
Jim you are completely wrong, only Faux entertainment viewed to air this horrendous video.
