No surprise. The media is on the terrorist's side.

Wouldn't it be better if EVERY newspaper worldwide (non-Muslim presumably) just printed them? Then they'd have to bomb everyone.

People just turn to the web to find the cartoons. Another step in confirming the future demise of the MSM.

OTOH, here at the new media, we don't shy away...

I noticed many of them did NOT shy away from printing the Toles cartoon.

"This is a clear example where people would find those offensive so we don't see any particular reason to do it just for shock value," he said.

Translation: We're afraid too many viewers would laugh and decide the cartoons aren't nearly offensive enough to incite a people to murderous rage, so we decided to censor the basis of the news we "report".

"The Islamic religion bans depictions of Mohammed."

Well, OK ... it logically follows that Muslims are saying Mohammed actually IS a cartoon, then, now doesn't it?

They are pretty lame.

Let's also not forget that Mohammed (piss be upon him) was a drug addled pedophile.

That's fine. Nobody reads the "major" media anymore, anyway.

We'll do it.

Good ol' CSPAN- Washington Journal had them on this morning.

It was kinda funny...Pedro was like "these" cartoons; as the camera slowly panned across the images..

Funny, I don't recall them showing this much...sensitivity regarding Robert Mapplethorpe's infamous work.
