(16,296 posts)5. Working for ISIS?
I think Fox News is working for Fox News. Those who are viewing the video are watching to either (A) confirm that Arabs are barbarians and deserve whatever they get even at the hands of other Arabs or (B) or so perverse in their thinking and outlook on life that this satisfies some deep-seated need to see another suffer. Fox is just playing to its audience. In addition, I do believe that by this time Isis may have realized that they have stepped over a line and may be regretting it every time that video is viewed.
