I get your point, user. And, I can see why media outlets that choose not to feature the cartoons specifically ridiculing Muhammad might alienate a segment of their audience which believes that those depictions are crucial to the story.
In this case, anyone who wants to see the hundreds of Muhammad mocks which might have factored into the motive for the crime can easily find them by searching "Charlie Hebdo" or checking a less conservative media source.
IDK. I wouldn't expect CNN or NBC or like media sources to feature mangled bodies when they cover car accidents, or publish nude shots of an exotic dancer who gets killed on the job by a deranged customer/perv, or publish a bunch of expletives if they're covering a story about a guy who gets beat to shit for hurling them at somebody either. Personally, more is more for me too when it comes to details of any type. But, I represent only one segment of the audience. And, I do believe that competent media sources can provide sufficient context with background info and descriptions, without having to breach their policies against publishing certain types of content. I know where to look if I want something more or something different.
