"CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons out of respect for Islam"..check this out (March 27, 2000)

CNN

But they apparently have no such “respect” for Christianity; they didn’t hesitate for a second to show this image of the virgin Mary made out of elephant dung and pictures of female genitalia: New York, Brooklyn museum settle funding dispute

Pics and link to CNN article HERE

I dare say my missive probably wasn't quite as reserved and classy as yours.

[ovrtaxt]

Out of respect for God and the Constitution, I have chosen not to show CNN on my TV.

Didn't know CNN was run by muslins, when did this happen, why wasn't I informed?????? LOL! Perhaps us Catholics should start rioting and maybe burn down CNN......

Gee, thanks! I like to keep'em relatively short and sweet.

Now, pat yourself on the back for posting the link and giving us all the idea. Nice work!

When CNN wants to remind you that free speech is only for important people.

Nice!

Meaning they are not afraid of the Danes.

Hope so!

The market is begging for a right leaning news cable that makes no bones about their take on the news. Viewers and advertising dollars will pour in faster than they can count them.

I'd probably still stick with FOX News. It's not a bad thing to get both sides (except for that kook global warming special they aired recently). Plus, you can see how moonbatty some of the Democrats are getting.

DNN = The Dhimmi News Network.

To be fair, on "The Big Story" on FOX, John Gibson refused to show the Mohammed cartoons because he thought they were intended to offend.

[Goodgirlinred]

Probably. I do, however, like my news in the middle. I like to make up my own mind.

Here's what Mark Steyn's comment about this:

Thanks. I checked out the article. I was just watching the news about the muslims rioting in Lebanon. They looked like a pack of wild, rabid dogs.

[airedale]

Let's be honest it's not out of respect it's out of fear. If CNN showed them then their facilities become targets. Also access will be cut off in lots of areas. Same kind of deal they had with Saddam

[TheForceOfOne]

I like Fox too, but where there is a market a supplier will step in eventually to fill that void.

There are people on FR who find Fox News to Liberal for their taste and would welcome a new competitor. New competitors will rise in the newspaper industry too except that form of media will never be as powerful as it once was as it continues to lose its readers to the Internet and Liberal bias.

Even the nightly news programs like Nightline has seen their best days and face extinction in the near future. We live in a new world of 24/7 instant media just a mouse click away minutes after the story breaks.

I think news from any political preference is acceptable except I want their honesty about it so that people understand what is being reported or not reported in order to properly understand what is going on.

All news is packaged according to the political beliefs of the news agency reporting it. IMHO

I wonder what those jokers did with the comment I emailed them. Probably fell into a black hole.
