While several major news outlets in the United States have resisted showing the Muhammed-depicting cover of Charlie Hebdo‘s first issue following last week’s massacre, it appears as though their squeamishness is not nearly as severe as that of media in the United Kingdom.
Hebdo writer Caroline Fourest appeared Wednesday evening on SkyNews to tout her magazine’s hot-selling post-attack issue, with cover art showing Muhammed holding up a “Je Suis Charlie” sign and a caption reading “All Is Forgiven.”
“I’m very sad, very sad that journalists in UK do not support us, that journalists in UK betray what journalism is about by thinking that people cannot be grown enough to decide if a drawing is offending or not,” she said to the hosts of SkyNews Tonight via satellite. “Because you are not even showing it.”
The camera then panned out as Fourest reached for a copy of the magazine and continued: “It is completely crazy that in UK you cannot show a simple drawing as that.” At this point, she was holding the Muhammed artwork in full view of the camera, before the photographer panned upwards and then SkyNews immediately returned back to studio.
The anchor then explained the decision to cut away: “We at SkyNews have chosen not to show that cover, so we’d appreciate it, Caroline, not showing that.”
“I do apologize,” the anchor continued, “for any of our viewers who may have been offended by that.”

They’re slaughtering us and we’re afraid of offending them.
I’m offended at the reaction from the Sky anchor...
The MSMs seemingly inexplicable deference to Islam only makes sense if you view it thru the political prism of socialism and gloBULLism vs nationalism and individual freedom. See the MSMS absolutetly hates you. You are a Christian racist bigot homophobic that must be defeated at every opportunity. You are a “right winger” and the MSM will oppose your every position even if it means cutting off their noses to spite their faces. The demonic bastards know Islam is a backward murderous culture but they are for it simply because you, you evil right winger, are against it. Yes they are that evil.
An uncovered woman is offensive to muslims too so SKY news needs to make every woman on air wear the hijab so not to offend muslims.
media-jihad-complex alert.
Why is the French magazine “Charlie Hebdo” publishing a cover saying “all is forgiven” to those who have slaughtered 12 of their employees? Is their double meaning intentional? the other meaning that Muhammad is forgiving Charlie Hebdo for its offensive depiction of him?
Why? The cover was a total suck-up to Islam.
The ruling elites will, of course, live outside of this Petri dish of their making continuing their lives of decadence, debauchery, homosexuality and abortion.
yes I agree with all you say in that post . the news media are that evil. good post and analysis
I can speak only for here in America: soon enough some media-emboldened muzzie is going to lunge at an “infidel” while screaming “Allahu Akbar!!!”, and end up getting himself sent to Helen Thomas paradise.
Practice with your weapon & practice situational awareness, fellow “infidels”.
