New York, February 5 (RHC)-- An intelligence and policy analyst in New York says Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel is working as a media arm of the ISIL terrorist group. Malcolm Wrightson Nance, an African American career intelligence officer, combat veteran, author, scholar and media commentator, made the remarks in an interview with The Guardian on Wednesday after Fox News embedded on its website an extremely graphic 22-minute video showing a captured Jordanian pilot being burnt alive in a cage by ISIL.

He said that by posting the video Fox News was propagating “exactly what ISIS (ISIL) wants to propagate,” adding: “The whole value of terror is using the media to spread terror.” “[Fox News] is literally – literally – working for al-Qaeda and ISIS’s media arm,” Nance told the British newspaper. “They might as well start sending them royalty checks.”

The professionally shot and edited video surfaced on Tuesday, showing the Takfiri terrorists purportedly torching 26-year-old Moaz al-Kassasbeh to death. The ISIL terrorists, who were initially trained by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 to destabilize the Syrian government, control parts of territory in Syria and Iraq. They are engaged in crimes against humanity in the areas under their control.

Rick Nelson, a terrorism expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told The Guardian that posting the ISIL video in fact strengths the terrorist group. “These groups need a platform, and this gives them a platform.
