Showing off its crimes: How ISIS flaunts its brutality as propaganda 
ISIS appears to have a well-funded, well-organized social media and video production effort. Its 
videos are slickly produced, with high production values, experts say. And ISIS imagery has proven 
tough to stamp out. 
Twitter lagged behind ISIS on efforts to remove images of the decapitation of U.S. journalists, CNN 
national security analyst Fran Townsend noted. 
"We've seen propaganda campaigns from al Qaeda before, but nothing that acts that quickly in real-
time events that's able to target tactically, and that's a real concern to American officials," she said. 
Juliette Kayyem, also a CNN national security analyst, said social media is helping ISIS, which also 
calls itself the Islamic State, amplify its message. 
"They are a serious threat, and they are using social media to make themselves even bigger in that 
regard," she said.
