in hyping first video.

They got some pushback from the public and family with the second video.

This time it looks like the BBC has taken the family's concerns into account.

I don't think it's about racism in this case. I think the public and families are genuinely pissed off with the MSM showing atrocity videos. Some of us are beginning to wake up to the fact that we are being emotionally manipulated by the terrorists and the media.
