FREEP CBS EVENING NEWS NOW !! (Beheading video)
kristinn | May 11, 2004 | self

Posted on 05/11/2004 2:57:03 PM PDT by tgslTakoma

Kristinn just called me and asked me to post this thread.

He just called CBS Evening News and asked them if they were going to show the militant Islamists' video of the beheading of American Nick Berg.

The woman who answered the phone said that they were going to do a story on it, but they were NOT going to show the full video.

He asked them, "Why not, since you had no problem showing the pictures of the Iraqis being abused by our guys in the prison. Don't you think turnabout is fair play?"

The woman got mad and said, "Thank you for your comment." and then hung up the phone.

Call CBS Evening News and let your voice be heard!

Here is my email to CBS:

"I'm sure that in the interest of the public's right to know, you will be repeatedly showing the video of Mr. Berg's beheading. I look forward to your continued journalistic integrity."

Just called and had a lengthy conversation with some woman who would not identify herself. She said they were considering showing "part" of the video, but that FCC regulations prohibit the showing of the video in its entirety. I said that I felt the video should be played night after night in an effort to stir up American patriotism. She said thank you and hung up.

Wow, the number takes you right to the newsroom. Here is what they told me. We are not sure what we are going to show. It will be the first item of the newscast. If you want to see about this, you can watch the newcast. FAT CHANCE that I will ever watch CBS.

I told the guy who answered that his photos inflamed the world for no reason. The Crime was being investigated and would have been punished. He said he disagreed and his photos should be shown but not the video because it was too terrible. He hung up on me.

Just called. A young girl by the name of Alison did not sound happy. Then she hung up.

We also need a list of the sponsors of CBS Evening News.
It's time to harness the power of the pocketbook and let Dan's advertisers know how we feel.
Whoever advertises on CBS Nightly News is now an accomplice in the endangerment of our troops.

"Are you guys going to show the beheading video?"

"Yes, we're going to cover the story extensively."

"Once again, are you going to SHOW THE VIDEO?"

"Have a nice day." [click]
