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!

I just watched it too and have been crying ever since. These creatures cannot be considered human -- not even the most primative form...THEY ARE ANIMALS!!!!!!!

And *that* is why the public needs to see this video, unedited, unabridged.

Most Americans truly do not understand what we're up against. They *need* to understand, or we'll have no hope of being able to fight it effectively.

Again, this essay makes the point far better than I could.

There's a video of it; i'm sure. Maybe this would be a good angle for Rush to use. Towards the end of today's broadcast, it seemed he was thinking about how the MSM would spin the excuse not to run the Berg video.

Berg was a Jew. Now we know another reason why CBS doesn't want to show the video.

Get real, it wouldn't have mattered if he was a red neck from Hack Saw Arkansas. As long as he was an American, that's all that mattered.

True --- just like Daniel Pearl was a Jew ---- it looks bad for the beloved Islamics if people start connecting them with the Nazis who were similar in so many ways --- we weren't sensitive people back then who really cared about hurting the feelings of the Nazis.

The parents didn't want it on tv or in the news. They have known about it for awhile.

I agree with you; the people need to know what these monsters have done to this brave American! I am so outraged I can't sit still. Between the fits of rage and crying jags, I can't seem to accomplish anything today.

I also agree that the article to which you referred is very appropriate.

I later called CNN when I heard they were not reporting on the story. The CNN guy told me they showed the story and they "couldn't run it over and over". I asked about how they could run the prison abuse photos over and over. He hung up on me.

Also ask them why they played the Rodney King beating video over and over and over again (of course, *only* the portion that showed King getting pounded by half a dozen officers, *not* the portion that showed him resisting them and the officers using smaller amounts of force until they found that it wasn't working).

It's a similar situation -- their repeated airings of the King beating whipped the community into such a frenzy that the deadly LA riots were entirely predictable.

This is unbelievable! Where is the outrage? The world goes crazy because of a few photos of naked suspected terrorists, but when an American civilian is savagely decapitated by terrorists the main media is silent.

CBS and the other Muzzie-loving networks tried to coverup the fact that Danny Pearl was a Jew. They were forced to report in under duress after the Muzzie's forced him to talk about his heritage before they slit his throat. CBS hates Jews and loves Islamist monsters.

tgs1Takoma-

Just called the number and asked when the story will be run and when the full-length video would be shown on their network. The woman with whom I spoke said they would be providing continual coverage and would play the "non-violent" portion of the video.

I advised them they should play it in its entirety after 11:00 p.m. and continued the casual conversation because I could literally hear the telephones ringing "off the wall" in the background.

Good job, FReepers!

Excellent idea. If & when this airs, the prison story will fall off the map. BTW, welcome-

Oh, my.. yet another "let's fawn all over Kristinn" thread.

Bookmarked for sure.

He made a phone call after all, he must be a hero.

I realize they wouldn't want it aired. Who would?

But, it was placed on islamic internet sites, so they can't keep the genie in the bottle.

If they're too prissy to show the entire vidio they ought to pixelate the picture and play the sound.
