Many Outlets Are Censoring Charlie Hebdo s Satirical Cartoons After Attack - BuzzFeed News
CNN is not the only network not showing the cartoons — in fact, all the major networks and cable channels are declining to show them. Asked whether NBC News would show images of the Muhammad cartoons in the course of its reporting on the story, a 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.”
Spokespeople for both ABC News and CBS News confirmed to BuzzFeed News on Wednesday that they would not show the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of Muhammad, though a CBS News spokesperson said later that “CBS News will make an editorial decision based on the relevancy to the story.” And Fox News, though it did show a shot of one of the cartoons earlier, told the Washington Post that it has “no plans” to air it again.
How the biggest american companies in the USA deal with free speech shame America (self censorship out of cowardice) ... It s shaming that French are the example of bravery and americans are the example of cowardice now
Why show such tripe?
The French are examples of stupidity, not bravery.
Actually, I think it needs to be shown more. If it were depicting Christians, the left would be all about it.
