One wonders how one is supposed to avoid giving them a platform whilst reporting on them, particularly in the specifics.
For example, Vice News had a multi-part series about ISIS that included interviews with ISIS members in English (or translated from Arabic/etc.). Was such objectionable?
I would say no. Fox put up the video, only didn't translate the Arabic spoken (as far as I know, I watched the video once and have no desire to see it again, maybe there is a 'Closed Captioning' option, but I didn't notice it). About the only objection I can see to this is that it's 'too violent' to show.
