Why is the Daily Mail showing awful ISIS pictures?

I think what newspapers decide to publish, or not publish, isn't really going to stop ISIS showing the west the full extent of the horrors they perpetuate, they are completely in charge of exactly what they put out there and what medium they choose for this. Seemingly none of that can be stopped. I'm not sure a lot of their target audience engage with newspapers anyway. Would the three recently departed London girls have read any anti ISIS articles, it seems that their negative depiction in the press didn't affect their decision to go to Syria.

The pictures did seem to be less horrid. But it has been ramping up again.

If anyone is interested at all, this is their contact link.

[The email addresses dont appear to be working. hmm].

In answer to someone's question: the ruling family of Qatar 'fund' Al Jazeera.

our television and newspapers are very mealy mouthed and over cautious compared with other countries over showing what the terrible violence in the world actually means to its victimes.

If the media had the courage to show what the violence of ISIS and others means to people present and what was actually done to our hostages more people might demand that we do more to actively help the victims and start resolving the problem. Politicians are driven by what the public wants, and if the public demand more be done more would be done.

eugh. I wouldnt watch television or read newspapers in that case. I would turn to radio instead.
Even I have enough imagination to not need to see stuff.

I was thinking though, that I dont know the parties' stance on IS. But that could be my fault, as I am slowly switching myself off from all the election coverage. I have reached my personal saturation point.
But it does seem to me that none of the parties has ISIS very high up its agenda. And it should be imo.

soontobe I think you are the exception, not the rule. For most people out of sight is out of mind.

soontobe How good is your imagination about someone being beheaded? It doesn't happen instantly with one clean cut and can take five, six or more blows with a sword, especially by an "amateur". I'm sure most of us don't want to watch anything so horrendous, but that, of course, is not what appears in the newspapers. (After all, it's not a Harry Potter movie where the newspapers have a kind of video.) If it makes us feel sick, keeps us awake at night and gives us nightmares when we do sleep – well, so it should. We are part of the human race and need to be aware – and active – about what other members of the human race may be doing.

FlicketyB, even reading this thread, you will see that I am not.

absent, my imagination is more than good enough for that. I would rather not have your gruesome words either.

absent you are right; unpleasant though it may all be, we need to be told what atrocities other human beings are capable of. The footage of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, for example, is the most valuable tool to demonstrate the horrors of the holocaust.

We cannot wrap ourselves in metaphorical cotton wool.

Telling is one thing.
Constant pictures is not.

I dont see anyone complain about all the other papers who dont show the pictures.
If the pictures are so important, why is no one complaining about the papers that they read? And their online papers?
