25. Conservative Sites Rush to Post ISIS Video After Fox Opens Floodgates | Mediaite

Not only can online users choose to view it on Fox’s website, but because the network made the video embeddable, now others sites can post it too. And that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday.

"First, Glenn Beck‘s TheBlaze embedded Fox’s video — along with a series of graphic still images — on its website. The host echoed Baier when he wrote, “I believe it is important for the world to see them. We have been lured into a poppy field where we have fallen fast asleep as grave danger quickly approaches.”

Then, it popped up on Breitbart, which failed to mention the source of the video, but nonetheless used Fox’s embed to share it with readers.

“Breitbart News here provides the entire video of ISIS burning a Jordanian pilot alive,” Brandon Darby wrote on behalf of the site. “The complete evil of Islamist ideology is visible in the graphic video. Though controversial, it is the belief of senior management at Breitbart News that the horror of ISIS should be visible for national decision makers, the constituents who elect them, and the Americans who may be called upon to fight them.”

And next came The Daily Caller, whose Jim Treacher posted Fox’s video with the headline, “If You Don’t Want To Watch This Video Of ISIS Burning A Man Alive, Then Don’t.”
