ISIS video featuring captured UK journalist seeks to dispel Western media's manipulated truths

In a new ISIS video released this morning, abducted British journalist John Cantlie, criticizes the West for its portrayal of the jihadi group and the danger of heading toward “the abyss of another war with the Islamic State.”

In a three-minute 20 second clip posted on YouTube called “Lend Me Your Ears,” Cantlie, 43, who formerly worked as a reporter for The Sunday Times, The Sun, and The Sunday Telegraph, is sitting in a dark room in an undisclosed location, where he says he seeks to dispel ‘manipulated truths’ conjured by the Western media regarding the Islamic State.

Cantlie, who was first abducted in Syria in July 2012, was then shot as he attempted to escape captivity, but then rescued by the Free Syrian Army. When he decided to return to Syria four months later, he was captured a second time and sold to ISIS in November.

Cantlie describes the story of how he was abducted and how “many European prisoners” were let go by ISIS, but “British and American governments thought they could do it differently than every other European country…They negotiated with the Islamic State and got their people home, while the British and the Americans were left behind.

Most of these journalists seem to be libs going over there to write articles to get sympathy for these killers. Starting with Daniel Pearle.

The news keeps leaving this out.

So, because of those mean Americans and Brits, these nice Muslims might be forced to cut off my head.

Logical.

Just proves that reporters and reporterettes are like whores, they will give favorable publicity to who ever gives them the most, money, life, sex, etc.

Damn, when's ISIS/ISIL going to hit the set of Meet the Press or the NYT newsroom?

I can dream, can't I?

3:20 is how it would display in many readouts. 3 minutes 20 seconds, or 3.33 minutes or 200 seconds...

Although I've never seen a clip magazine, I have seen magazine clippings!

Seeing the IS logo, white on black, fluttering in the upper left hand corner is unsettling and somehow prophetic. I can not help but feel that it is an omen and we will experience it’s meaning on our soil very soon. How could our leaders allow this plague of ISIS to gain so much power, were they not watching?

It's hard for me to have sympathy for these people.

Yeah, which is how probably 95% of the rest of the world would do it. Who writes out time in long form? I might be stupid, but I’m not Darwin Award stupid.

I hope all of this is convincing all these Mohameddan lovers to just totally shun their lands and their plights . They are not worth the coverage .

When the survivors come crawling out from under the rubble , holding white rags on sticks and forever disavowing islam , that would be the only ‘story’ worth covering .

As for ‘aide workers’ ; work in civilized lands , not the lands of the raghead set

Good thing it wasn't 4:20

They might have forgotten what their message was.
