‘Fox News alone in showing Jordanian pilot’s gruesome death by Isis
Fox News broadcast still images of Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh being burned alive by Isis (Islamic State) jihadists before posting full raw footage from the horrific execution video on its website.
Senior officials with the US network, the only major US media outlet to use video footage of Kassasbeh’s death, said the decision was taken to highlight the “barbarity” of the Isisgroup.
“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,” said John Moody, Fox News executive vice president and executive editor.
“Online users can choose to view or not view this disturbing content.”
…..”We feel you need to see it,” anchor Bret Baier warned viewers before the images were shown.
“The images are brutal. They are graphic. They are upsetting. You may want to turn away. You may want to have the children leave the room right now.”
Baier said the images were shown to “bring you the reality of Islamic terrorism”…..’
Of course, there will be no lack of people who claim that this isn’t necessary, that they already know how savage this death cult is from the sanitized coverage in the mainstream media. My answer to them is simple:
NO, YOU DON’T.

    O/T I know…but in NZ tomorrow is “Angry Dole-Bludging Tribalists Day.” I warn you all to stay away from the msm as it will be full of “gimme gimme gimme savages, demanding more and more, presented by bimbos with tits and lip-gloss!” For the preservation of sanity I recommend many beers, a shady tree and some authentic science to read.

      PS I have been trying a few Chinese beers of late (can’t pronounce the names either before drinking or after) and am really enjoying them. They create a lot of wind though so I recommend outdoor consumption! :evil:

        Sounds like a sensible formula. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gif

      As opposed to all those other days ending in the letter ‘y’, when the msm is full of … never mind.

    Cadwallader is right.

    To ensure your blood-pressure stays below stratospheric levels, stay away from news tomorrow – TV and radio. Oh, and avoid the papers in the next two days as well.

    I turned off when the newsreader started waffling on about obamas response, no point listening to more useless waffle.

    On a related note, Jordan has expedited the execution of all the jihadists isis wanted in exchange for the release of the pilot. Here’s to hoping they execute a few more jihadists they can find as retaliation. It’s the only language these isis c***s understand, something the west seems far too stupid to understand.

    And make sure they’re denied an islamic burial, they’re big on that sort of thing.

    That video should be compulsory viewing for all the ignorant or apathetic types who think that we can negotiate with or ignore this evil threat.

      Yes, it should.

      Indeed. So should the footage of 9-11 with the Americans jumping to their death from the upper floors of the Twin Towers. The MSM, within two or three days after the 9-11 slaughter, went to wholly sanitized news clips that showed none of the jumpers. We wouldn’t want to show Muslim terrorists in a bad light.

    O/T, via Fox news:
    ‘THE CEO AND CHARMAN of the venerable Gallup research and polling firm, Jim Clifton, right, says the official US unemployment rate is really an underestimation and a ‘big lie’ perpetuated by the White House, Wall Street and the media.’
    Color us amazed…..

    The video is horrific and it really does make you sick watching that mans skin melt off.

    Good on Fox for showing it, people need to wake up.

    The West should be putting a lot more pressure on the ME and the barbaric regimes that rule. There is some light with the rulers in Egypt and Jordan, surely something a little more positive can be done there.. Unlikely though, with our current bunch of vague and deceitful, ‘leaders’.

    I see another analyst believes that the price of oil will fall further and quite significantly. If the oil price remains low won’t this stuff the suppliers in the ME who have acquired their wealth from oil for decades? If the West can become self-sufficient can we not forget the ME other than refusing entry to our countries by its primitives?

      Nah. If the ME can’t sell oil, or make enough out of it, we’ll then be flooded with “refugees” Cad. ;-)
