Well, I'm here because somebody pinged me. The regular networks have never aired the Richard Perle video [although I recall some European network may have]. As it is, I have not been able to find the terrorist website [Muntada al-Ansar] wherein the unedited video is reportedly posted.

I think that CBS may be correct when they say that the FCC will not allow a beheading to be aired.

As it is, I found out about this story because the Fox News Channel is always the first thing that I turn on, wherein there was saturation coverage of the Nick Berg beheading. They did give an explicit verbal description, however. Gruesome enough.

At this moment I have CNN on to compare.

After a long period of coverage of Gen. Taguba's testimony about our people horribly putting ladies panties on a terrorists face, then a passing mention was made of the Berg murder. That was all that CNN had time for on the story.

Right now they're talking about how Americans are frightened about jobs being exported.

It's all a matter of perspective/priority, isn't it?

All of the buttons work on the CBS News (.com) site with the exception of the 'contact us!'

Our media are weak!

Remember this islamic peaceful picture? These people are subhuman blood drinking scum that deserve to be obliterated. The best thing to do is nuke their capitals and convert the survivors into christians. Only as long as christians are in power we will never do that. So islam better pray that the rapture does not happen soon and remove all the true christians that love their enemies and than leave all the pissed of heathens in control of our military might.

This is reprehensible reporting, but it will increase Americans' anger at the terrorists and, in turn, support for our war effort.

It puts the prisoner abuse in perspective.

My teeth-clenched phone call went like this:

I'm calling from Tucson, Arizona. I hold your organization personally responsible for the murder of this young man in Iraq. You did not have to run the photographs, no military coverup had taken place. CBS's actions were seditious and treasonous. Is that recorded? "Yes, um, it is duly noted," said the rattled female voice. I hung up and posted this. The vibe I got is that CBS is very scared.

YOU'RE either with US, or WITH THE TERRORISTS

I think we know where most of the media/leftists allegiance lies....

Just in case it hasn't been posted over here yet:

On another thread we've been calling CBS at

212-975-4114

A real person answers "CBS National Desk". He then proceeds to systematically hang up on everyone who asks if CBS will show the viseo tonight.

Give the guy a call

This sounds tough but it is time to stop playing around. You cant reason with terrorist and they will explode a nuke or dirty bomb here as soon as they can.
We need to give them ample warning to clear out in Falaujah
or whatever the spelling is and nuke it to the ground.
You cannot play by rules and deal with maniacs.They are beating us over there with fear and winning over here with the Democrats bitching and moaning.You fight to win or get out and the politicians have lost two wars for us in Korea and Vietnam.We need to use Military might and/or fear whatever it takes.

Freeped....didn't get the girl's name who answered but she said their phones are ringing off the wall, because "someone" published their private newroom line on the web...I can't imagine anyone doing that...it amazes me how upset the liberal media gets when they don't have TOTAL control!! The gal said she agreed with me and it should be aired but it wasn't her decision

Hung up on me when I repeatedly asked if they aired the video after she insisted they reported the story. That really was weasel talk, she knew it and I knew it.

Before she hung up on me she said, everyone on the east coast has gone home already.

The media knows they cannot keep the prison "abuse" story alive once this video is shown - its over at that point.

if this video were of US soldiers beheading an iraqi, it would be shown in full, 24x7.

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!

I called CBS News this afternoon and asked if their ratings for showing the abused photos had been worth an American beheaded and the gal hung up on me. I was very soft spoken and nice by the way. I have Emailed my friends to call and write to CBS. Our voices must be heard.
