Reporting live on CNN, Wolf Blitzer accused Charlie Hebdo of occasionally going over the line in their satirical criticisms of current events.
The comment came as Blitzer was detailing the Islamic terrorist attack against the Charlie Hebdo office, which resulted in the deaths of 10 staff members and two police officers.
Blitzer categorically slammed the attacks and said there was no justification for it. However, in detailing what Charlie Hebdo is known for, he added that, at times, they went over the line in their commentary.
The attack on the office happened today and is currently believed to have been carried out by three Islamic extremists. Charlie Hebdo was targeted because they published pictures of Muhammad. Those who carried out the attack shouted, We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad and Allahu Akbar during the murders.

Safer to ridicule Christians and Jews .....
Is this old woman still on the air? CNN must not care that their ratings have been in the tank for years, or those in charge would get rid of the dead work.Why sponsors give them a nickel is a mystery.
Wonder what his email is.
Let me get this straight. There is a line in the sand which reporters can’t cross but terrorists can jump back and forth across it laughing neener-neener.
Not to worry, Wolf. Won't happen again.
Who gave you the right to judge what the French do CNN?
I would like to mention ... if burning the American flag and desecrating images of Christ are considered free speech ... Mohammad is fair game. The Moslems need to realize that is the world we all live in. Crass and irreverent? Offensive? Too bad. Deal with it.
Wolfie has had his head up Zero’s ass so far he’s lost sight of any lines.
Is that the line that was crossed when ‘Book of Mormon’ went to Broadway, or ‘Piss-Christ’ got NEA funding?
All that cartoon did was point out the truth, and I’m here to tell you the cartoons that have been aired bashing W were 1000 times worse than the ones pointing out that Islam can’t be criticized without threat of violence. It can’t be exited, meaning you can’t choose to leave Islam, without threat of violence. You can’t in good faith worship another faith in a predominantly muslim country without threat of violence.
Blitzer is an ass.
