NBC News and MSNBC Join CNN in Not Showing Charlie Hebdo Cartoons
Mediaite ^ | 7 Jan 2015 | Matt Wilstein

Following CNN’s decision to refrain from showing Charlie Hebdo cartoons that could be deemed “offensive” to Muslims on air, NBC News has made a similar statement, confirming that the images will not appear on NBC News or the company’s cable channel, MSNBC.

An NBC News spokesperson said:

“Our NBC News Group Standards team has sent guidance to NBC News, MSNBC, and CNBC not to show headlines or cartoons that could be viewed as insensitive or offensive.”

It’s not only the media that is at fault.

Seen or heard our political “leaders” give their opinion of Islam? They too are part of the problem.

They’ll continue to kick the can down the road hoping that their children come up with the solution, even if it kills them. Cowards.

“Liberal cowards!!!”

“...could be deemed “offensive” to Muslims...”

How long until they start following every mention of Mohammed’s name with “Peace be upon him”?

But Yeshua in urine is okay. Christians and Jews are okay to be mocked and ridiculed but don’t blaspheme MoHAMmad ....

Gawd, these cartoons are lame.

Doesn’t take much to get the followers of mohamhead in a tizzy does it?

Looks like it was drawn by a 9 year old.

Hell of a thing to commit mass murder over.

These people aren't right in the head.

Remember several years go when Michelle Malkin shook up the news commentators on FOX when she suddenly lifted up a large poster with all the cartoons on it?

The media, the progressive elites, and the tyrants at the White House are condoning murder because of cartoons that may have offended someone. They have condoned MURDER! This is who these scum are. We are being tested. For how long will we tolerate these insane demands from these subhuman monsters. They will push as far as they can, we just need to push back.

Is Fox showing the cartoons?

Briefly this morning (as did CBS) but as of now, a spokesperson for Fox says the network has “no plans” to show Charlie Hebdo cartoons on air.

I grew up in NYC, the Bronx to be more precise. In those days, the NY Daily News was a conservative paper, and the NY Post was a very liberal rag. At some point, both papers were sold, and the Post was taken over by a conservative owner and the Daily News by a liberal. As a result, the Daily News moved up to be NYC’s No. 2 POS newpaper. Of course, the NY Times remains in the No. 1 POS position.

Here’s a start - Do not patronize any Muslim-owned businesses here in the US.
