but

Fark won't be linking to the Saddam execution video. We realize CNN and Fox have it, if they want to run snuff films and call it news that's their business

1. On the contrary, Fark is far more rational.
Nobody has shown the executions of people and the FBI went out of its way to hide the leaked Daniel Pearl slaughter video from anybody who had it... (if they wanted to stir more anti-Arab resentment, allowing FOX and others to display that gruesome act would have done infinitely more than just telling people it happened...)

Shame on FOX and CNN. Their morality is now in question, but no doubt Murdoch will be rolling in dough and that's all he cares about.

I have no qualms about the death penalty for certain cases (and Saddam deserved it, period.), but to show real violence (even if it is 'justice') as a form of entertainment?! That's the lewdest form of "entertainment" possible.
