EVEN FOX TOOK THE COWARDLY WAY?!!!?

How the mighty have fallen if so.

CNN I can understand because they recycle their video to their other markets. (ie CNNturkey will use the same video) THey are just left wingers anyways.

MSNBC has such low viewership nobody could tell. (run a test pattern and MSNBC could get its ratings up)

I think those cartoons should be plastered all over the internet and on every media when discussing.

Seriously, it is just mohame with a fuse comming out of his head. Islam is as islam does. It was a blood and violence religion at the start, and it is a blood violence religion today.

The only reason any Moslem is upset is because the cartoon speaks the truth. Islam is violence. (not peace and not noble)

>>>...but making sport of quadruple amputee soldiers is acceptable.<<<

and the little scum that penned the cartoon has said "I meant no disrespect to the troops".

Talk about tone deaf....

They began as a religion of peace and have remained true to their origin.

Compared to this.

Where was the media when some creep put a crucifix in urine and called it art? Where were the self-righteous leftists when some untalented idiot created an exhibit with The Virgin Mary and elephant dung?
It's just as bad to slime one religion as another.

Sure. Print despicable cartoon ridiculing war veterans without worrying about offending most Americans but shy away from terrorist supporters. What pathetic scum our media are.

[ US media shy away from reproducing Mohammed cartoons ]

Easy answer why.. aBS, cBS, nBS and pBS.. would not like the Muzzies blowing up their stations or targeting their Minions..

Which, by the way, might happen anyway.. they are cowards and the muzzies know it..

Peter Gavrilovich, foreign editor of the daily Detroit Free Press in the state of Michigan, which has one of the largest Arab communities outside the Middle East, said it was out of the question for his paper to reprint the cartoons, either to illustrate the story or to show solidarity with counterparts in Europe. "I don't think we would run a cartoon in this newspaper that would be deemed offensive to any religious figure," Gavrilovich told AFP. "We're very careful in terms of any photo or any caricature that we run."
You might want to consult with your colleagues, sir.

GOOD POINT

Remember CNN has ALREADY kowtowed to Castro to get their little CNN branch there. (no bad stories there)

Remember CNN was reading IRAQI press releases verbatim to keep their broadcasting priviledges.

It is not about journalism or informing the public, it is about having air time "product" to repackage and distribute.

"If I were faced with something that I know is gonna be offensive to many of our readers, I would think twice about whether the benefit of publication outweighed the offense it might give," FRED HIATT, editorial page editor at the Washington Post, told AFP.

Said just 24 hours after running the Amputee photo...Fred Hiatt, you're so full of crap...

The only people the media gives absolutely no thought to offending are conservatives.

The prophet Muhammad and the Koran is a joke. Truth hurts Muslims, get a grip.
