Did anyone see Michelle Malkin on Hannity & Colmes? She was on to talk about the Mohammed cartoons. While the only media organization, The Philidelphia Enquirer, printed copies of the cartoons in their news pages, she[Michelle] is credited for extensive coverage and showing the pictures on her website [www.MichelleMalkin.com]. She argued that the only way for anyone to understand the whole story is to see the cartoon pictures. Well, with a virtual blackout of the cartoons by the rest of the media in America, Michelle had a suprise for FOX's Hannity & Colmes audience as well as the producers at FOX. Suddenly, right in the middle of her argument about the cartoons, a split screen of her and the other guest, she raised a poster board of the 12 "controversial" cartoons right in front of herself covering the whole screen. It caught me by surprise and I would guess many others viewers as well. I'm guessing FOX's H&C producers were suprised as well. The camera zoomed in on the top three cartoons. They seemed unsure of what to do, only zooming in once during Michelles commentary. Suddenly they cut away to the riots in the middle east while she finished the rest of her argument. They never went back to showing the cartoons.

Interesting!!
Brit Hume showed the cartoons on his show a few days ago. He also mentioned tonight that AP wouldn't even send the cartoons to newspapers.
The Wash Post said the cartoons don't meet their standard of decency. Brit brought up the handicapped soldier and Rumsfeld cartoon, asking was that "decent".
Go Brit.
Guess I'll have to watch the rerun.... I had to turn H&C off earlier because I was on the verge of putting my fist through the TV trying to smash that smarmy Colmes in the mouth...
But I'd put up with a thousand Colmes to see Michelle. I love that lady; Looks AND brains.
Her web site seems to be down right now, does anyone have information about that?
The WarshPost "standard of decency" is so low, none of those Mo cartoons could make the grade.
Here's an interesting web site I found today:
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
And these outlets wonder why they are loosing readers? They aren't willing to report news. The Internet is here and there is no looking back.
Perhaps she thinks priciples are more important than a career.
I saw it.
Kudos to FOX News Channel for not trying to dodge the posterboard with
all the cartoons.
(or, maybe I should give the Kudos to the camerman who didn't flinch!)
I wonder why we haven't heard from Anne Coulter about this subject. One would think it was made for her. Michelle and Anne, two great conservatives. May they live forever(not that it is likely but one can hope).
Just like you, I missed it because I was in danger of my blood pressure shooting through the roof. Do you really think Colmes is that stupid or is it just "trying to toe the liberal line"?
I strongly disagree with your take. They did flinch and broke away while Michelle was describing this one or that one. No guts at all. Even while Michelle was talking about the press failing to show the cartoons, they had other footage on. Did they do that while the professor was speaking? Could you clearly make out any of the cartoons from that far away shot?
I would suggest to FOX that they replace Hannity with Malkin. It would be better for FOX ratings and the conservative effort.....
I saw that and laughed. It was obvious they didn't know what to do, but she covered her own face with the board and kept right on talking. I can't stomach Colmes so that was the first show I've seen in a while. And as a bonus, Michael Reagan cleaned that Michael Brown's lying clock.
I think her site is under a denial of service attack.
