35. I find your comparisons spurious. first of all, it's repugnant to implicitly

compare two reporters and a humanitarian worker to Saddam and his sons. You insist on pushing a false narrative that the BBC showed the hanging:

They did not. I won't hope for you correcting yourself, but you should.

Furthermore, showing dead bodies is not the same thing as showing a beheading. And you are all for showing bodies if they support your pov- for instance bodies of children killed in the Gaza bombings.

Your confirmation bias is in the way of critical thinking.
