Fuck Muhammad!!!

[HairOfTheDog]

CNN just reported that they're not posting some of the cartoons and many of their viewers are pissed off about it.

You could count me among the pissed. WTF are they thinking?

A lot of media outlets, in America, France itself, and many countries have never been open to publishing Charlie Hebdo's Muhammad-mocking cartoons. Since the cartoons aren't news, it doesn't really bother me that they won't publish them now.

It kinda surprised me, not in a bad way, that CNN published The Guardian cartoon with the word "fuck" and the terrorists in skeleton suits and mickey mouse ears.

Anyway, I support full freedom of speech and satire, but also respect the rights of those who don't want to publish what they consider highly provocative opinion -- so long as the press is free to choose whether to publish or abstain.

Here's a list of some outlets that will and won't publish specific Hebdo cartoons and their rationales: http://www.imediaethics.org/News/4984/Wh...part_2.php
