Faux news reaches an all time low.

OMG, when is enough, enough? The link below tries to explain why FAUX aired the gruesome video of a human being being burned to death? And what did they come up with for their answer?

"And so we linked to the video so that someone who wanted to know how low people can sink could have some idea now. I think that’s important."

Are you f*cking kidding me? How much more do we need to see and hear to prove how low these people are? Wasn't 911 enough? And the recent be headings? I could go on and on. It's pretty damn obvious who were dealing with.

Yes, I understand the rights to air the real story. And yes, I have the option to watch/not watch. FYI - I have chosen not to see it. EVER!!! So again, why would they air this? There are some things in life that take integrity, good judgement and require filtering. Look around. It's done every day in the workplace. In most cases, lack of filtering, etc., can actually lead to termination. Yet Faux, just had to show it. I find it disgusting that they just HAD to air this gruesome act. It was done for shock and awe, not to show everyone how low these people are. How sickening that the daily news has come to this.

I now have a new found respect for the media outlets that refused to air it. FAUX, however, is total sh*t to me. It's more brain washing by FAUX. All those poor viewers!!! Is this the way of the future? God, I hope not.

Does that make it right for FAUX to air it and then lie about it? The integrity of FAUX is total crap. IMO, this was a new time low for them, and they are setting a standard that I do not approve. Granted, its my opinion.

We've not been watching Faux for anything, but NFL football. In the next season, I'll give up watching Faux NFL football all together. I like football, but when they show something this horrendous, I am not inconvenienced. My heart goes out to his loved ones. Mr President, turn loose the "dogs of war" to stop these atrocities. Yes, there are allies, let's don't lead, but really help out.

And now everyone knows exactly how low the people at FOX can sink - as though any further proof was necessary.
