(23,946 posts)Only US network to feature graphic video showing Muadh al-Kasasbeh burning to death.
Twitter accounts associated with Isis supporters are sharing video via links to Fox News.
In a statement, the network said: 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.
On Twitter, accounts associated with Isis supporters are sharing the video via the links to the Fox News site. One account, which regularly posts pro-Isis slogans and updates about Islamic State victories in battle, tweeted boastfully that Whoever is looking for the al-Furqan version [of the video], here it is and it CANNOT BE DELETED because it is on an American network.
Al-Furqan is Isis media outlet.
