The President said it would be wrong to burn the Koran.

CNN's own media watchdog, Howard Kurtz, points out that his network only announced it would not broadcast pictures of the Terry Jones Koran-burning after Fox News already made the same call hours earlier.
Kurtz: When the Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik reported at 2:16 Thursday that Fox would show no pictures of the planned Koran-burning in Gainesville, it was the only network taking that position. The others had told TV Newser that they would cover it like any other news story, with no hint that the footage might be withheld. The only other major news organization promising not to transmit pictures of the proposed bonfire was the Associated Press.
The New York Times this morning credited both CNN and Fox as refusing to air the images of such a burning. CNN's position came as a surprise.

They still think they can be gatekeepers, and make stories that don’t fit their agenda go away.
Hee! Hee!
It’s a new world campers. All that’s needed is one yahoo with a digital camera and an internet hookup and the whole world can watch it on YouTube.
Speaking of which, there are probably going to be dozens of Koran-fueled marshmallow and weenie roasts popping up on YouTube tomorrow.
There is other means and ways to get news, pictures and video.
America doesn’t have to live by the TV.
Besides its going to be nationwide anyway.
I think you’re a freakin’ TROLL, tough guy! Go outside and burn one now and take your picture and post it!
That’s what happens when a news outlet is financed by Saudis.
The paradigm shift has happened!
The Internet genie is out of the bottle!
And, best of all, Rush, Beck, and most assuredly Mark Levin will cover koran burnings.
Prince Al Waleed owns at least 7% of Fox/News Corp. His uncle is the Saudi King.
The Prince also owns significant shares in Time Warner/CNN.
Ditto Disney/ABC News.
Ditto GE (NBC/MSNBC/CNBC) and has tens of billion deals with GE plus meets with Immelt regularly.
Bloomberg TV, Financial Data, magazines and media has billion dollar deals in islamic countries with stock exchanges.
Why Jones is burning a Koran, by Lawrence Auster
From the website of Terry Jones’s Dove World Outreach Center, an article dated September 2 on “Ten Reasons to Burn a Koran.” And here is a follow-up: “Five More Reasons to Burn the Koran.”
At the very least, one must say that Jones’s planned act is not mindless. He is performing a certain act, and he has laid out his reasons for performing it. His reasons are that Islam is anti-Christ, anti the West, anti liberty, and anti human decency. His view is that Islam is a danger to everything we cherish and everything we are. By burning a Koran, he is expressing his complete rejection of Islam, and causing other people to think about why he is rejecting Islam. Since I myself believe that Islam does not belong in the West, how can I condemn a man who is expressing the same idea through a strong symbolic act? An act that is not illegal and is not harming anyone. An act that will force people to think—is Islam the enemy of ourselves and of everything we cherish, or not? Does Islam belong among us, or not?
People are saying that the Koran burning will cause Muslims to kill innocent people. Perhaps it will. But the Danish cartoons caused Muslims to kill innocent people. Islam demands aggressive war against non-Muslims, including the killing of innocents, because from the Muslim point of view there is no such thing as an innocent non-Muslim. The clearest and most frequently repeated message of the Koran, appearing on almost every page, is that all non-Muslims are guilty of the monstrous crime of rejecting Allah, and deserve death and eternal torture. Why should we respect such a book? Why should we respect such a religion? Sooner or later, people in the West (and people in the non-Muslim world generally) must come to recognize the nature and teachings of Islam. They can have that recognition sooner, and prevent much violence, or they can have that recognition much later, only after Muslims have gained substantial power over our societies and get in a position to harm anyone who opposes them. My view is: the sooner the truth comes out, the better; the sooner things come to a head, the safer we will be.
Three weeks late and a $13 million dollar mosque short.
They sure did not have a hard time publishing top secret military documents that endangered the troops. This, political correctness and the order of rights and groups, they need to protect and honor. We have total bimbos running this country.
I agree w/ Fox on this one. This was a non story that was badly handled by the media and the characters in Washington.
There is practically zero coverage of the American Koran Burnoff so far this morning, almost like the coverage of the Tea Party gatherings.
What totally blows me away is the absolute fear that so many people have of offending Islam, at the very least it also shows a persons true colors.
Any person I meet who complains that burning a Koran shouldn’t be done because it will just make Muslims upset will be remembered by me. I will definitely remember who they are.
It started a long time ago and is way over due but we need to do it before Islam gets too deeply embedded. Protest Islam, destroy their Satanic Verses, We will salt the earth with...salted pork... upon where you plan to march to.
waiting for the liberals to decry this obvious censorship....
Good dog! I wore a headscarf knitted with my Golden Retriever’s hair spun into yarn in the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
How can the left make excuses for a culture that murders gays, beats women, stones women, cuts off appendages, riots when insulted, bans freedom of the press, marries girls as young as seven, takes slaves, murders daughters, has the highest birth rates in the world, celebrates the murder of ‘infidels’, teaches their children to hate, lives by bribe and tribe, marries first cousins, could paralyze our economy and endorses man-boy love, polygamy and bestiality? What would it take to turn them off?
