POLL: Should Homeland Security block the Fox News website from re-distributing ISIS recruitment videos? [View all]

Only US network to feature graphic video showing Muadh al-Kasasbeh burning to death.

Twitter accounts associated with Isis supporters are sharing video via links to Fox News

"On Twitter, accounts associated with Isis supporters are sharing the video via the links to the Fox News site. One account, which regularly posts pro-Isis slogans and updates about Islamic State ‘victories’ in battle, tweeted boastfully that “Whoever is looking for the al-Furqan version [of the video], here it is and it cannot be deleted because it is on an American network.”

(Al-Furqan is Isis’ media outlet)

No. ISIS is not a legally declared foreign enemy, so also has free speech rights.

No. But if ISIS produces a snuff movie of an American fighter pilot tortured and burned alive, then Yes.
