It is getting better in some respects
At least one Capitulator is admitting they are capitulating. - Tom
When the Boston Phoenix didn't print the cartoons of Mohammed they gave this reason for not printing them:
"Out of fear of retaliation from the international brotherhood of radical and bloodthirsty Islamists who seek to impose their will on those who do not believe as they do. This is, frankly, our primary reason for not publishing any of the images in question.
Simply stated, we are being terrorized, and as deeply as we believe in the principles of free speech and a free press, we could not in good conscience place the men and women who work at the Phoenix and its related companies in physical jeopardy.
As we feel forced, literally, to bend to maniacal pressure, this may be the darkest moment in our 40-year publishing history."
Just because the paper admits it does not mean it is getting better. It just shows that what I posted is true. Giving in to intimitation is the same thing as waving the white flag.
