Anyone see the Berg video yesterday on cable news?

Posted on 05/12/2004 11:28:11 AM PDT by Babsig

Just talked to my mother on the phone. She is very upset because she saw the beheading while flipping through cable news stations yesterday. She cannot recall which one but it was one of the cable new stations (FOX, MSNBC, CNN) She said it showed the guys talking and then putting Berg on the floor and cutting his head. She said it went off the air very quickly, but for the split seconds of what she saw it was very upsetting. It was between 3:30pm-4:30pm EDT.

I have not seen the video, nor do I want. But I would like to know if anyone else saw this yesterday and on which station. I have read many of the threads associated with this and have not yet seen anyone say they saw it on TV. Since CBS is saying they cannot show it because of FCC, one of the cable networks have done so already.

I haven't heard of any U.S. stations playing it, but I know I'm avoiding it, so I'd be interested in knowing which channels to skip.

I was watching fox and Gregg jarrett's producers cut the tape while Gregg kept watching. He was very upset by what he say and he DID not show the actual murder.

I didn't see it and don't ned to. I know Fox got really close to showing the 'act' but didn't. Will this show the dummycrats that this is what we are fighting??? These people want to take over the world one country at a time...

I don't know if a channel broad-casted the murder of Mr. Berg yesterday or not. However, when I arrived home from work, my mother was still in tears. She watches Fox News exclusively and was deeply affected by Shepard Smith's description of the video. She is 83 and it took a while to calm her.

Sheps description was pretty rough to hear.

I saw it through links yesterday, and was sick all day. It puts the prison thing in perspective.

"It puts the prison thing in perspective."
Do you really believe that. All I heard from co-workers and family members is that the prison hijinks caused this young man to be beheaded. As long as liberals live and breath there are going to be people who actually believe that.

i WANT TO SEE THE VID.
I want to have the vid on file on my own harddrive.
I do not want this swept under the rug.

I have had enough of the soft treatment we are giving these barbarians.

I dont think any of the cable networks played it. (CNN, MSNBC, CNBC or Fox) Trust me, it would have been mentioned on the news. Maybe it was one of those independent stations on cable or satelitte. I get alot of those stations on cable. Maybe they played it.

Will you stop it? If I want to look at that I will pull up a website that has the video. I understand your passion, but I do not need to see the beheading to know who our enemy is.

Could it have been one of the Spanish language channels (like Telemundo)?

I know that they showed more of the footage of people falling from the WTC than the "American" broadcasters ever did.

Jumpsuits are used for prisoners like in Gitmo.

It has been speculated on a couple of Threads that they had a stolen prisoner's uniform and put it on him to try to make themselves look more official than the cowardly, thugs that they are.

I saw it yesterday. IMHO every American should be forced to watch this horrible, inhuman, slaughter. We should begin by having USA traitors John Kerry and Carl Levin watch from beginning to end!!!! Oh, by the way, the Muslim boys are going to really get their jollies off when they get their hands on "Jewish" Mr. Levin. He will make great chopped liver for their wildest consumption! Mr. Levin is walking into the gas chamber that he helped create! He will get his just dessert for helping put America in harms way! Vote for Kerry and Levin and vote to destroy America and your own lives!!!!

Univision was not showing it last night, I know that for sure.

As horrendus as this is, it should be shown like the Rodney King video and those prison pictures - over and over and over again. But it is not. I am dissapointed in Fox News, they are no different then the rest.

Amen.

I saw the video yesterday. I don't care to see it again, and I think putting those pics in replies to a post with no warning is obscene.
