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.

US media shy away from reproducing Mohammed cartoons

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

"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?

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.

"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.

Pure comedy.

"The US media has so far largely shied away from reproducing controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed"

But they will show cartoons on a daily basis that degrade our military an support the terrorist as the Wasnington Post an New York Times are doing daily.

You mean there are still Americans out there who haven't seen the cartoons yet?
