Sounds like another dying gasp from the antique press.
well I'm not in the loop here but haven't they taken a brave step?
Good for them. It's OK for the MSM to demean the US Troops week after week with the Abu Grabit (sp. intentional) headlines, but twelve measly cartoons depicting Mohammad in a poor light of which three were purposefully put in by a radical imam is disgusting. The newspaper could have made a nice story about that using those three pictures.
These papers only have the guts to slam Republicans and not much else.
They have taken a brave step. I'd like to project a light image of the cartoons on the New York embassies of some of these Islamo-freak nations. The protests are not spontaneous; they are state-sponsored.
That would be a refreshing change. And I admire the use of the otherwise absent spine. It would be nice if this was a permanent shift towards responsible, truthful journalism, respect and support for the nation you live in, and support for the nation's leader and his efforts to put an end to terrorism sponsored by the Islamic fundamentalism which is now treading on the powers and freedom of the press. Until now, media has done everything to support the enemy of freedom, and covered up the brutality and intent of it . Now that you are recieving the "reward" for the effort, I hope it opens more eyes in the industry as to what we are really dealing with in this world.
vimto, having read your posts for about a week or so. i am wondering when you are going to emigrate to the usa. we would welcome you.
Personally I would ignore the cartoons, and just show a picture of the jackasses burning down buildings, threatening to kill people, and some actually do such.
That is a compliment of the highest order ...
I remain in the UK due to the need to care for elderly parents. Other wise I would seek to go. Not that I hate my homeland - far from it - it is beautiful, but I increasingly feel like a fish out of water.
kind regards
see, i knew i called your personality right. excellent of you to take care of your parents. this is gods command. i know you dont hate your homeland, i think very few, very very few people hate their homelands. problem is that fewer and fewer places even give the semblance of sanity.
I was thinking the same after watching some journalist guy on the Abrams Report today, who actually said the media was acting responsibly and had a duty to not publish things that could inflame or cause anger in times of war.
I guess those Abu Grabit pics didn't incite any anger in the Muslim world then. Typical hypocrisy from the MSM.
The owners would fire those publishers, but they need the eggs. Bpuck-bpuck-pbuck-bedaaaaack!
One of the more absurd moments in this fiasco was a GB official (Jack Straw, I think) lauding Fleet Street for its sensitivity when it cowered. That is something like citing the World Wrestling Federation for elegance.
