No, I think the American leftist media aren't publishing the cartoons because they're allies of the islamofacists. Any enemy of Bush, America, the West, is a friend of the American media. There is another reason too, they are afraid of muslim reprisals, very afraid. We all know the American leftists are cowards.
The point being not ALL of the nations newpapers are liberal rags..Washington Times, Wall street journal come to mind and there are many more "neutral/Conservative" smaller newspapers out there in your smaller cities
No, I think the american media isn't publishing the cartoons because they are afraid of getting hurt or killed.
